What to Consider When Choosing Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Nail Care Products
Ingredients
- Look for products free from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalat e (DBP).
- Opt for formulas labelled as "5-free," "7-free," or "10-free", which indicate the absence of multiple toxic ingredients.
- Products made with natural, plant-based, or biodegradable ingredients are a great choice for reducing environmental impact.
Packaging
- Choose products with recyclable, biodegradable, or refillable packaging.
- Glass bottles with minimal plastic components are ideal for reducing non-biodegradable waste.
Production Practices
- Support brands that prioritise renewable energy, minimise water waste, and uphold ethical labour practices.
- Brands that actively work to reduce their carbon footprint are contributing to a more sustainable future.
Longevity
- High-quality, long-lasting products reduce waste by minimising the need for frequent replacements.
- Durable tools and long-wear nail polishes are excellent options for sustainable nail care.
Recyclability
- Ensure that the product packaging is recyclable or part of a brand-specific recycling program.
- Some brands offer incentives for returning used packaging, which helps close the loop on waste.
