STUDIES & MEDIA PUBLICATIONS ON THE EFFECTS OF LED NAIL GEL CURING LAMPS
Recent studies have determined that radiation from nail gel curing lamps is cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic. Studies have shown that an increase in mutagenesis will likely lead to an increase in cancer risk. Several anecdotal cases have demonstrated that some cancers of the hand may be associated with radiation exposure from LED nail gel curing lamps, similar to early onset cancer caused by tanning beds.
The following articles and studies cite extensive research on this subject.

A: No. Magan’s HandShield is uniquely designed to aid in helping protect skin from the damage caused by LED nail gel curing lamps. It is not a sunscreen product or a substitute for outdoor sun protection (e.g., our water-based formulation is not suitable for protecting your skin while swimming).
Q: Newer generation nail gel lamps use LEDs instead of the UV bulbs in older generation lamps. Is Magan’s HandShield formulated for these newer LED nail gel lamps in mind?
A:Yes! Recent studies highlighted in the In the News section focus on the harmful effects of these newer LED nail gel lamps, which include skin cancer, and premature skin aging, resulting from the emitted UVA radiation from the LED lamps. Magan’s HandShield is specifically formulated to help protect your skin against this damage, while not affecting your beautiful nail gel or curing.

“Magan’s HandShield leaves no greasy residue and doesn’t interfere in any way with the results of my gel manicures. They are just as beautiful as before. I feel that my skin is softer and not as dry when I use Magan’s HandShield, and I like to keep it on well after my mani & pedi are complete. It’s a revolutionary product.”
Sherry S., California
“I have always felt concern when regularly getting my mani & pedi, because of the harmful effects of nail gel lamps touted in the media. Magan’s HandShield offers me peace-of-mind protection while still giving me the same beautiful nails that I’ve been accustomed to. Thank you!”
Julia B., California
“Not only does Magan’s HandShield apply easily after spraying on the gentle mist on my hands and feet, those protected areas do not feel as warm under the nail gel curing lamp as they did in the past, without Magan’s HandShield. I enjoy the cooler feeling on my skin when getting my nails done.”
Dana W., Wisconsin
“It applies so easily. Just spray the gentle fine mist and rub once or twice. Absolutely no streaking or oily feeling. I can feel the protection as my skin does not heat up under the nail gel curing lamp.”
Zina R., California
“I think it’s important to provide people who receive manicures and pedicures options, and this unique product does it so well. I can feel it working when my hands stay cooler under the nail gel curing lamp. It’s super easy to transport in my purse and use. So grateful for this product.”
Kim R., California
“I have very sensitive skin and brittle nails, so I have always been wary of gel manicures. With Magan’s HandShield, I don’t feel any heat from the gel curing lamps, and both my skin and nails look and feel great!”

INCREASED CONCERNS ABOUT SKIN CANCER RISKS

LED nail gel lamps emit ultraviolet (UV) radiation and have become the standard at most nail salons. Recent scientific publications have cited increased concerns about skin cancer risks while getting a gel manicure. These lamps are routinely used to speed-dry regular manicures, and they are required to cure gel manicures. Regardless of whether it is a “UV” OR “LED” nail gel lamp, both emit UV radiation and generate harmful chemicals, which have been shown in independent studies to contribute to both premature skin aging and increasing risk of skin cancer.
Magan’s HandShield is formulated without parabens, petroleum, phthalates, SLS, SLES, PEGs, TEA, DEA, silicones, or artificial dyes or fragrances. And it is never tested on animals.
