Expert Verdict
Known contact allergen; methacrylates are among the most common causes of occupational contact dermatitis in nail technicians. Incomplete polymerization leaves free monomer on skin. In UV-cured nail products, residual monomer must be minimized. Assess under SCCS guidance for nail products specifically.
