Brief Description
Magan Materials has formulated and patented a natural mineral mist that helps protect skin from the risks associated with LED nail gel lamps. While nail gel manicures are loved for their durability and shine, the LED lamps used to cure the polish emit high-energy blue light in the ultraviolet spectrum, which accelerates skin aging and increases the risk of skin cancer. Magan’s HandShield™ is sprayed onto the hands or feet immediately before applying nail gel during a manicure or pedicure, giving the customer peace of mind without interfering with nail gel curing. The product leverages a revolutionary antioxident mineral discovered by UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Professor Alexander Katz’s research group, and has been endorsed by leading dermatologists.
