ReSettle
A Research Concept
A safer way back to the salon chair.
ReSettle is dedicated to creating and designing an antimicrobial UV-curable gel nail interlayer using silver phosphate glass in order to bridge health and beauty for recovering communities
The Reason
The recovery from cancer is a journey of finding a way back into the flow of life. For many who get their nails done regularly, nails can be a self-care routine that inspires confidence and identity. However, those in recovery from cancer are not allowed to have nails as there is a high risk of infection.
The Product
The ReSettle gel is formulated with silver phosphate glass, an antimicrobial known to kill nail infection-causing bacteria. Nothing about the nail service changes except the addition of ReSettle's gel directly on top of the natural nail, after prep.
