HEMA Act 3.9.-21

Dear CesarsShop customers, announcement

The law regarding the sale of cosmetic products starting on September 3, 2021!

EU legislation changes from time to time due to new research, and new changes will come into effect after this summer.

In order to protect consumers, the EU Chemicals and Safety Commission has tightened regulations on chemicals to safeguard consumer health.

In the future, all products that contain

  • 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA); and
  • 11,14-dioxa-2,9-diazaheptadec-16-enoic acid, 4,4,6,16-tetramethyl-10,15-dioxo,2-[(2-methyl-1-oxo-2- propenyl)oxy]ethyl Ester (Di-HEMA trimethylhexyl dicarbamate or Di-HEMA TMHDC).

ingredients, are restricted to professional use only. It should be noted, however, that products containing these ingredients are safe for consumers when used correctly. TUKES (Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency) defines a professional as a person who is trained to know and use products correctly that can lead to allergies or be harmful to health if misused. It is also possible to become allergic to these chemicals, even if the products have been used correctly. All substances can lead to sensitization, regardless of the person.

Allergies to these chemicals are permanent and sensitivity to harmful chemicals does not diminish over time. Once an individual is allergic to these chemicals, they are also allergic to all other products that contain these substances.

Our company's foundation has been to provide high-quality and safe products to nail professionals and normal consumers. With the new law change, normal consumers will no longer be able to sell products containing the above-mentioned ingredients without a certificate of training provided by a brand. Private training is not acceptable as a certificate of training.
Students in the field are also allowed to purchase the products in question, but proof of their place of study is required.

The most well-known nail products that may contain these chemicals are the traditional acrylic system, building gels, and gel polishes.

However, companies have taken a step forward and started producing HEMA-free
compositions so that the use of cosmetic products will continue to be safe for all users in the future.

In the future, Bluesky gel polishes in 10ml size will be changed to a HEMA-free formula, which will allow them to be sold to normal consumers. A handful of Kiara Sky products contain these substances, so not all products are available for free sale to all consumers.

The change will enter into force on 3 September 2021. EU legislation applies to products manufactured and sold within the EU. For products from outside the EU and EEA countries, the consumer is responsible for the safety of the chemicals themselves.

The change applies to all EU and EEA countries.

Finnish Customs has also decided that all goods coming from outside the EU and EEA countries will be subject to customs clearance and VAT must be paid on them, regardless of the price, starting July 1, 2021. You can find more information on this at https://tulli.fi/kaikkitullataan
