Ebelin Nagellackentferner Aceton-Frei [Aloe Vera Duft] Review
By Maychiri's Thoughts - August 22, 2024
Another nail polish remover since I am in the mood for some
nail care! This is the Ebelin Nagellackentferner Aceton-Frei, variant Aloe Vera
Duft! Or, in English, “Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover, variant Aloe Vera
Scent”.

This week is nails week, and one necessary part of caring
for your nails is having a way to safely remove nail polish. Ebelin nail polish
removers have been pretty good thus far, so I keep coming back to them often,
as soon as I see a new variant. This was a new variant at the time I bought it,
it says that it’s for weak nails... my nails are pretty sensitive, so this
sounds good! And Aloe is always good! Now, let’s see how good this nail polish
remover actually is!
Packaging: relatively large plastic bottle. I really like
the pink theme going on here! The bottle is light pink, while the sticker in
the front has various different shades of pink. Information is in the back. The
cap is black... missed opportunity for it to be dark magenta. Anyways, it
closes very securely, so don’t worry about the remover spilling. Fairly simple
design, but I like it!

Ingredients: almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil for
nourishment. 3-free and no parabens. Oh, wait... it doesn’t actually have Aloe
vera... I know that it’s called “Aloe Vera Scent”, but I thought it would have Aloe.
Anyways, the scent is, at first, like ethyl acetate. Then, after that
evaporates, it becomes gentle and softly sweet.
Would I say that this is Aloe vera? Probably not, it just smells juicy
and fresh, and somewhat sweet. Still, it’s a nice, not too overpowering scent!
The expiration date is 12 months after opening.
Ethyl acetate is the solvent used in place of acetone. Ethyl
acetate tends to be gentler on the nail bed, less drying, and causes fewer
splinters. However, it is just as dangerous for plastic and metal. It etches
plastics, and corrodes metals, which I learned the hard way when I had a mishap
and some acetone-free remover got into the charging port of one of my phones
and nearly caused it to permanently be unable to charge. Be careful how you use
this!
The liquid is colourless. It evaporates quickly on nails but
stays moist for quite some time in a cotton pad.

I am satisfied with how this remover removes nail polish. I
like to really soak a cotton pad, to make sure I have enough remover, and then
remove nail polish. This remover removes glossy nail polish easily, most times,
without needing to rub the nails excessively. It works even better if I soak my
nail in it for a few seconds. However, shimmery nail polishes can be a pain to
remove, requiring multiple passes until my nail is clean. And the shimmer is
likely to explode everywhere, but that’s not a problem of this remover. It
still isn’t that hard to remove them, unlike glittery nail polishes. That’s
where this remover truly struggles. It can take like half an hour just to
remove glittery nail polish from a few nails! And a whole lot of rubbing! And,
even though it has almond oil to nourish the nail bed, that doesn’t prevent
mechanical damage from excessive rubbing. Still, I am happy with this nail
polish remover, it removes most nail polishes easily enough.
And, thanks to the almond oil inside, it doesn’t dry out my
nails as much as other acetone-free removers. Of course, all removers will dry
out nails to some degree, but I found that the almond oil really helped a lot!
My nails don’t look as dry or brittle with this remover.
All in all, this is a good nail polish remover that is
gentler on the nails than acetone remover. It removes most types of nail polish
easily, as long as it is not very shimmery or glittery. Glossy nail polishes
usually come off pretty easily, without too much rubbing, which is good for my
sensitive nails. Shimmery and glittery polishes take a fair bit more effort and
rubbing to remove, and this does take a toll on my nails as they feel dried out
afterwards. However, they don’t feel as dry as some removers make them, this is
likely thanks to the almond oil inside. It helps hydrate the nail bed and
prevents splitting. And the scent is quite nice, it’s very relaxing! It smells
fresh and juicy and subtly sweet. Is this an Aloe vera scent? I honestly don’t
know, but I like it nonetheless. I really like this nail polish remover, plus,
it is a bargain and a half! Just look at the price, barely more than a euro and
you get 125 mL, which lasts a very long time, even if you apply/remove nail
polishes often. So yes, I will recommend this remover, it’s quite good.
Rating: 7.5/10
