Where do you manufacture?
Sofirah is a gel that is 100% manufactured in Japan.
Material
It should be a nail gel that anyone can use at their ease. Our belief is that we stick to “selecting materials” as a first step. We carefully concede the effects on the human body of the raw materials, that is why we select the materials with high standards of safety.
Resin
Main part of gel nail. Regarding the main component used in “Sofirah”, the resin, we collaborate with raw materials suppliers to manufacture our original synthetic resin. Among them, we use properly several kinds depending on the required performance such as adhesion, sustainability, transparency and gloss.
Pigment
Since the pigment, the element of the color, does not dissolve even in water or oil, we color the resin by making it into fine particles and uniformly mixing it. Since pigment remains as fine particles unlike dye, it does not penetrate the skin tissue, it has a character of less pigmentation to skin and nails.
Additive
It is possible to make gel nail more functional by improving the leveling property by smoothing the surface of the gel, preventing sedimentation of the pigment, enhancing the light fastness.
Process
“Sofirah” carries out thorough inspection in each process of manufacturing, as well as pre-shipment inspection, under our own quality control system. Everyone involved in manufacturing has high awareness of quality control, and we provide reliable products for our customers.
1.Standard color creation
Our engineer mixes carefully selected pigment, resin and additives to make a standard color. There is a difference in texture, gloss and adhesion even with one resin, we achieve the ideal finish by changing the composition of the materials little by little according to the application.
2.Color matching
By combining the standard colors in the color matching room, we reproduce the exquisite color as ideal byadjust the viscosity by preparing a Clear gel together.
3.Mixing
After mixing to a certain extent, we then move on to the mixing room. We mix the gel after color matching evenly by stirring it by a machine. Stirring for approximately 3 minutes will result in a clean and smooth finish.
4.Comparison
Whether the correct color was formed or not, pass / fail judgment is done with a color difference meter which quantifies the color. Also compare the printed color with the standard color, reviewed as well by an expert’s eyes. In addition, various inspections are carried out using UV irradiators and viscosity measuring instruments.
5.Filling up
The finished color gel goes through a de-foaming operation and is put in a container with a filling machine. Accuracy and cautiousness are required for work while measuring the specified amount. We carefully fill up each one by hand.
6.Labeling
All labels are stamped on filled containers by hand. It is a process that affects the visual beauty of each product, so we cannot get rid of it. A skill of maturity that balances speed and carefulness stands out.
7.Measurement / printing
Containers filled with gel are transported to the measurement / printing line. We measure whether the contents are filled correctly, and for products without problems finally print lots on the bottom of the container. Finally, the product is complete.
8.Box packing
Pack gels carefully one by one with human hands after finishing all the processes. At the same time, we are final checking the products. We check the details andthe delivery order.
Specialist
“Sofirah” will not be completed unless it passes through the hands of many people. A craftsman who prepares basic materials, the one who tones vivid colors, the one who manages products. It is made from our knowledge and skills and continuous efforts by the craftsmen.
