Most soak-off gel polish removers use acetone as the primary active ingredient; the product listings typically show acetone concentrations around 96%–98%.
Listings indicate use on soak‑off gel polish and many also list effectiveness on regular polish, glitter polish, and in some cases shellac, acrylics, dip coatings, and press‑ons/artificial nails where specified.
Kits commonly include the soak‑off solution plus manual tools such as dual‑ended pushers, triangular‑tipped scrapers, a small buffer, and a compact carrying case.
Some formulas add conditioners like Vitamin E and grapeseed oil; others list plant oils such as coconut, avocado, or olive oil to help nourish nails and surrounding skin.
