What does Natural Nail Polish Mean?

Vegan Nail Polish

Vegan nail polish is an ideal choice not just for those living a Vegan lifestyle, but if you are looking to ensure that your beauty choices including natural nail polish respects and protects the wellbeing of animals.

Traditional nail polish has historically been formulated with animal by-products as well as being tested on animals. The most common animal-derived ingredients in traditional nail polish can include: Guanine (also known as CI 75170), a shimmery substance made from fish scales; Carmine, a bright red pigment made from drying insects; and Keratin, an animal protein derived most commonly from cattle, horses and rabbits. The good news is that none of these substances are vital in producing nail polish. More and more brands are choosing to make the change to these vegan nail polish alternatives.

Non-Toxic Nail Polish

Non-toxic nail polish is often referred to as “free-from”and you may have seen this term when looking for natural nail polish that is “free from” animal-derived as well as traditional toxic ingredients.
