Golden Hour silicium nail polish - MÊME

The "Golden Hour" silicon and UV-protective nail polish by Même Cosmetics is your best ally during chemotherapy.

Some chemotherapy treatments can weaken the nails and make them photosensitive, meaning they become more vulnerable to sunlight and UV rays (which are present even on cloudy days!). That’s why it’s essential to protect them using special silicon-based UV nail polishes.

 

An opaque silicon nail polish to protect your nails

Despite its light shade, the Golden Hour chemo nail polish by Même Cosmetics is opaque enough to protect the nails from UV rays during cancer treatment, as well as from the effects of chemotherapy itself. Enriched with silicon, this formula helps to strengthen even the most damaged nails. Whether your nails are ridged, brittle, soft, or even cracked from chemo, this silicon nail polish protects and fortifies them.

A simple but highly effective silicon nail polish

Always striving to offer the safest possible products, the team at Même Cosmetics has developed a formula that truly takes care of you and your nails. This silicon nail polish is 10-free, meaning it contains no:

• Benzophenone
• Toluene
• Formaldehyde (or its resins)
• Phthalates
• Synthetic camphor
• Parabens
• Rosin
• Xylene
• Styrene
• Heavy metals

This nail polish is made with 83% bio-based ingredients and contains no controversial substances or anything derived from petrochemicals.

Inside the formula, you'll find:

• Organic silicon combined with a sulfur derivative (MSM): to strengthen and harden fragile, soft, brittle nails, making them more resilient.
• An ultra-antioxidant complex with buckwheat extract, sea fennel, and vitamin E: forms a protective shield over the nail surface, guarding against external damage and oxidative stress that can break down keratin.
• Natural solvents from potatoes, wheat, corn, and cassava: for better hold, a comfortable texture, and full nail respect.

In short, a nail polish suitable for chemotherapy that allows you to care for yourself with confidence and a lighter heart!

 

A unique, soft, and warm nail polish color

The color “Golden Hour” of this silicon-based UV nail polish is a sunset orange-red reminiscent of those glowing summer evenings wrapped in a warm and soothing light. This radiant red-orange shade enhances every hand with its soft, luminous hue – evoking that golden, mysterious hour when everything seems calmer and more beautiful. Not too bold, not too subtle, Golden Hour captures light to illuminate and flatter all skin tones. This warm and glowing shade is perfect for summer.

 

Why wear a silicon and UV nail polish during chemotherapy?

A great question! The answer is quite simple: some chemotherapy drugs are photosensitizing, meaning they can cause nails to darken and deteriorate faster. A dedicated nail polish helps prevent and even protect against those effects. Plus, silicon strengthens and hardens weakened nails, helping to avoid breakage.

 

How to apply your silicon nail polish during treatment

Applying your nail polish properly is key. Here's a quick step-by-step. The first application should take place the day before your first chemo session, and continue up to 6 months after your last. Every 7 to 10 days, clean your nails with remover and start your manicure again.

1. Apply one coat of silicon base coat on each nail.

2. Follow with two thin layers of UV-protective silicon nail polish in your chosen shade.

3. Finish with a thin layer of top coat.
