EMA vs MMA

🧪 What Is EMA?

EMA (Ethyl Methacrylate) is the industry-approved, professional-grade liquid monomer used for acrylic nail applications. It’s designed to provide:

✅Safe, flexible adhesion

✅Smooth, consistent application

✅Long-lasting wear without damaging the natural nail plate

EMA is approved by the FDA and the Nail Manufacturers Council, making it the standard choice in salons worldwide.

🚫 What Is MMA?

MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) is an industrial acrylic used for things like dental prosthetics and plastic manufacturing — not for nails.
While it may create a hard, durable bond, MMA is too rigid for natural nails and can cause serious damage, including:

❌Nail plate separation or lifting

❌Allergic reactions or respiratory irritation

❌Pain during removal or filling

❌Long-term nail thinning

In fact, MMA is banned by the FDA for nail use in most states due to its unsafe chemical properties.

💅🏽 Why It Matters for You and Your Clients

Using EMA over MMA isn’t just about compliance — it’s about professionalism, ethics, and the safety of your clients.
