BAUHAUS LED Lamp

Named for a school of discipline. Cures the system it was built alongside — fully, evenly.

A formula is a series of decisions. The Legacy formulas begin with two refusals — no HEMA. no TPO.

ARTIST STATEMENT

HEMA-free lowers exposure to the industry’s most common sensitizer — it is not a promise of immunity. Gloves, flood-free application and a full cure remain the craft. Complete ingredient lists are published on every product page.

SEC. C — PROVENANCE

Chain of custody

ORIGIN

The category, invented

Pre-formed full-cover soft gel extensions — the format that turned length from a forty-minute sculpt into a ten-minute ritual.

DOUBT

The chemistry, questioned

Dermatologists flag rising HEMA sensitization across the trade. The inventor starts over rather than argue.

RETURN

The system, re-edited

SOFGEL — the same canon, restaged around a HEMA- and TPO-free color line. Every object in this room is part of the second edition.

“I invented this category.
This is my second draft.”
