While these ingredients are still permitted in the U.S., we've chosen to go above and beyond by providing a "thoughtfully formulated" formula for our U.S. customers.

Please note that HEMA-free products do not contain HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate), but allergic reactions to other acrylates may occur.
