The non-toxic nail polish we love

No need to skip the mani or pedi just because of the chemicals 

Did you know conventional nail polish contains a cocktail of toxic chemicals that can potentially be absorbed into your body? If you’re looking for a non-toxic alternative to your favourite, look no further. These brands pride themselves on being better for you and better for the planet by skipping the common chemicals like Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DPP) and Toluene. They’re breathable, most certainly don’t test on animals and best of all, perform just as well – if not better – than their counterparts. What’s not to love?

Butter London 

This UK born company has a range of regular polish, gel polish and peel-off formulations. Cruelty free, they’re available in a huge selection of colours, plus they’re free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, DBP, toluene, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, Xylene and TPHP.

Smith & Cult

You’ll want to keep these gorgeous tox-free polishes on display. Like Butter London, their formulations are 8-free, meaning they skip all the big nasties to deliver chip-free polish perfection. They’re also cruelty free and vegan. 

Kester Black 

It’s hard to choose from the huge range of Kester Black colours. This Aussie- label is founded on being both ethical and sustainable, but what’s more, their formulations are water permeable; meaning it allows nails to breathe. The brand is also carbon-neutral, vegan and cruelty free. 

Sundays 

Sundays is the brainchild of salon owner Amy Lin, who was inspired to create a line of tox-free nail polishes after she became concerned about the chemicals in her nail bars. Sundays offers a 10-free formula, beautiful muted and dark shades which look and feel super luxe. 

Raww 

Raww nail polish is like a vitamin shot for your nails. Not only is it COSMOS certified and toxin free it’s packed with ingredients like kale and acai. A breathable 10-free formula, the bright shades are guaranteed to brighten your nails as well as your day.
