• 2-Propenoic Acid (tetrahydro-2-furanyl) Methyl Ester – Contributes to flexibility, helping prevent cracks or breaks.
  
• Silica Dimethyl Silylate – Thickens the gel for better control and a smooth, self-leveling application.
  
• TPO-L (Ethyl Trimethylbenzoyl Phenylphosphinate) – An advanced photoinitiator that ensures the gel cures evenly under LED/UV with reduced heat spikes. NOT TPO
  
• Dimethicone – Adds slip and flexibility, giving nails a natural feel and improving comfort.
