Calgel is a gel nail system developed in South Africa that is gentle to the natural nail.

Since its establishment in 1966, Calbrook International has been a successful manufacturer of colorants and resin, and on this technological foundation it launched Calbrook Cosmetics in 1981 with the aim to provide nail art products that cause minimal damage to the natural nail. Manufacturing expertise and knowledge of raw materials combined with the dedication of our professional staff created the world’s first “soak-off” nail enhancement system that can be removed safely and easily with a solvent. Today, Calgel enjoys immense popularity and is the brand of choice at nail salons in Europe, Japan and other Asian countries.

In the United States, where nail art is popularized and services are relatively low-cost, Calgel is the preferred system at many nail salons owing to its unique product concept, range of colors, and its flexibility and durability. Calgel has become popular among clients who tended to avoid harsh acrylic nail products which are damaging to the natural nails or simply disliked gel nails, and is widely supported by users who prefer a natural look in nail enhancements. With minimal odor that is typical of nail salons and less time/ fewer steps required in the application procedure, the Calgel system generates maximum turnover in nail salon services. Additionally, Calgel sales allow for higher profitability that other brands cannot achieve because of the low material cost (less than 5% of the nail treatment fee). These advantages have made a substantial impact on nail material manufacturers, leading to the recent marketing of similar “soak-off” gel products by recognized manufacturers in the United States. With over 20 years’ experience, Calgel is still the one and only brand that can offer users an exciting color range of over 80 colors – which no other companies have accomplished.
