In 1984, founder Sandra Haigh believed professional nail products could be better.
At a time when strong odours and inconsistent performance were accepted as the only option, Sandra began working with cosmetic formulators to develop an alternative - one designed around the needs of professional nail technicians and their clients.
What started as a search for an odourless nail system that did not exist, became the foundation of Akzéntz®.
For nearly four decades, our formulations have been guided by uncompromising scientific standards. Every product is developed to prioritize performance, safety, and reduced sensitization potential while meeting cosmetic regulations in the markets where it is sold.
• Compliant with EU, North American & Asian Cosmetic Regulations
• Third-Party Regulatory Oversight
• CPNP Notified
• full SDS Transparency
Every Akzéntz® gel is researched, formulated, tested, manufactured and bottled in-house in Vancouver BC, Canada.
Using carefully selected North American and European ingredients, our team maintains complete control over the development process, from formulation through production, ensuring exceptional quality, consistency, and performance in every bottle.
For nearly 40 years our philosophy has remained unchanged:
Unite science, artistry, and innovation without compromise. Challenge convention through continuous refinement to create solutions professionals trust.
