What is the primary risk associated with using non-manufactured nail products?

  1. Increased cost to clients

  2. Higher chance of allergic reactions

  3. Longer service times

  4. Unavailability of professional-grade products

The correct answer is: Higher chance of allergic reactions

Using non-manufactured nail products carries the primary risk of creating a higher chance of allergic reactions. These products may not have undergone the rigorous testing and quality control that commercial, manufactured products need to meet industry standards. This lack of regulation often means that the ingredients in non-manufactured products can be unknown or untested, increasing the likelihood of adverse reactions when applied to the nails or skin. Furthermore, many ingredients in non-manufactured products might be irritating or harmful, leading to skin reactions or sensitivities that would otherwise be rare with professionally manufactured alternatives. For practitioners and clients alike, understanding the importance of using reputable and tested products is essential for maintaining safety and ensuring the best possible outcomes for nail treatments.
