The science
Why is LE HEMA monomer free?
While many brands use HEMA monomer for its low cost and strong adhesion, it is known to increase the risk of allergic reactions. At Light Elegance we prioritise safety and quality over cost.
We formulate without HEMA, HEA, IBOA and other high-risk ingredients
Only the highest-quality raw materials, selected to be less likely to trigger allergic responses
Every formulation developed from scratch at our facility in Redmond, Oregon
Manufacturers have a responsibility to raise industry standards — we take ours seriously
Made in the USA
Responsibly manufactured
Years of research and development inspired our vast selection of less allergenic, easy-to-apply gels and acrylics for all skin tones, nail types and styles — from natural nails to elaborate extensions.
In-house R&D
Innovative formulations
LE products are made from scratch at our Oregon-based facility. The result? Responsible products that are HEMA monomer free, 9-free, vegan, cruelty free and gluten free.
