The first manicurists to feature — Betina Goldstein, Marina Dobic, and Mateja Novakovic, each shaping our editorial identity.
IS OUR BRUSH AUTOCLAVE-SAFE?
Our signature fibres are autoclave-safe. Before autoclaving, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and free from residue. Fibres may be cleaned with mild detergents in ultrasonic cleaners, which provide an additional level of debris removal. Autoclave using a wrapped cycle only. Avoid unwrapped, fast, or dry cycles, as over-drying may cause minor deformation or weakening of the fibres. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines when autoclaving different materials. The specified autoclave settings for plastics apply exclusively to our brush fibres, not to their handles.
IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH BARBICIDE?
Yes, our brush is compatible with Barbicide (a quaternary ammonium compound). To preserve the integrity of the brush and ensure effective disinfection, please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH HOCl?
Yes, our brush was compatibility-tested with Labology 3 and passed those assessments when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. We recommend Labology 3 because the manufacturer states it is BPR compliant and has been independently tested against 21 BS EN categories, including EN 14348, a stringent mycobactericidal test used for disinfectants intended for medical-area instruments.
Hypochlorous acid formulations vary substantially between brands: concentration (ppm of available free chlorine), pH, stability and impurities all influence antimicrobial performance and materials compatibility. For that reason, we do not recommend substituting other HOCl products without confirming their specifications and test results, as formulation inconsistencies can compromise both efficacy and material safety.
SIGNATURE FIBRES LIFECYCLE
The lifecycle of our fibres is largely influenced by their usage and maintenance. When cleaned in accordance with our product care guidelines, the fibres retain their durability over time. Due to the more intensive nature of autoclaves, fibres subjected to this process may gradually fade in colour. Fibres may appear slightly compressed after autoclaving within the autoclave pouch. This does not affect performance and they will resume their original shape once reinserted into their handles.
Our brush fibres are recyclable. Once your brush fibres have reached the end of their lifecycle simply return them to us for recycling through our complimentary service. Contact an advisor to arrange the return process.
