Nail Care OEM & Private Label Manufacturing
Nail is a category where ingredient scrutiny went from zero to front-page: HEMA allergen alerts, "10-free" claims, and EU surveillance on gel systems. We build nail lines that survive that scrutiny — 200+ stock polish shades, UV/LED gel systems with curing verification across professional lamp wattage bands, and low-allergen HEMA-free options for EU-focused brands.
Polishes, gels, strengtheners and cuticle oils — with custom bottle molds, brush specifications and 200+ shade library access. MOQ from 1,000 pcs per shade, quotes within 24 hours.

Nail Care Manufacturing Capabilities
Nail color is unforgiving manufacturing: viscosity must feel identical brush-stroke after brush-stroke, pigment suspensions must not settle on the shelf, and gel cure behavior has to hold across the lamps your customers actually own. This is where our QC investment shows.

Nail Care OEM FAQ
What is the MOQ for polish and gel?
1,000 pcs per shade across stock colors, custom shades and gel systems; curing consistency is managed per batch.
Do you offer HEMA-free gels?
Yes — both standard and HEMA-free/low-HEMA systems. HEMA is the most common nail allergen and is under EU surveillance, so low-allergen systems matter for EU-facing brands.
How do you keep gel curing consistent?
Formulation and testing across professional UV/LED lamp wattage bands (24–48W) with curing-time verification at each band — forgiving cure windows without brittleness.
What testing applies to nail products?
Heavy-metal panels, "free-from" verification, viscosity and brush-feel consistency per batch, and Delta-E shade checks against retained masters.
Custom bottles possible?
Yes — glass molds, cap shapes and brush specs are customizable; new molds add roughly 25–30 days tooling time.
