The Clean Beauty Movement: Why Clients Care About What’s in Your Nail Products

The clean beauty movement has taken the beauty world by storm—and it’s not going anywhere. From skincare to haircare, consumers are becoming more conscious of what goes on (and in) their bodies. But what about nail care? Nail professionals and salon clients alike are starting to ask an important question: What’s actually in these products we use every day?

If you haven’t already embraced nail products with high quality formulations, now’s the time—and here’s why.

🌿 Clients Are Smarter Than Ever

Today’s clients are label-readers. They’re looking for cleaner ingredient lists and they want peace of mind knowing that the products used during their manicures and pedicures are not only effective, but are also safer for their bodies.

As a professional, offering higher quality products isn’t just about being trendy—it’s about building trust and showing your clients you care.

Light Elegance has always been transparent about what goes into our products and creates every formulation from scratch at LE Headquarters in Redmond, Oregon.

⚗️ Why Ingredients Matter

Many traditional nail products contain cheap, harsh chemicals that can cause allergic reactions, skin sensitivities, or respiratory irritation. With increased awareness around allergens and long-term health effects, clients are turning away from formulas with formaldehyde, toluene, HEA and HEMA Monomer.

At Light Elegance, we believe in transparency and high standards. That’s why all of our gels and spa products are HEMA Monomer free, certified cruelty-free, 9-free, vegan, and manufactured with integrity in our in-house lab in Oregon, USA.

You can also further educate yourself with product knowledge and nail chemistry by watching our Co-Owner & Head Chemist, Jim McConnell, on Chemist Corner.

Our award-winning chemistry ensures that every product—from award-winning builder gels and P+ Gel Polish to Glitter Gels—delivers superior adhesion, flawless finish, and lasting wear.
