Clean beauty: Essie has launched a new vegan, non-toxic treat-and-colour nail polish

Essie nail polish now vegan

Clean beauty is having a moment – and the trend is continuing to grow.

More and more consumers are becoming more aware of how what they put on their bodies can directly affect their health, and hence want products with ingredients that are not harmful. Also, we want products that are kind to the Earth, kind to animals and that are sustainable.

Lucky for us, brands are quickly catching up with what consumers want, and leading the pack right now is Essie. As of the end of 2020, our favourite nail polish brand is only producing nail polish formulas that are vegan and ‘eight-free.’

By ‘eight-free’ we mean excluding the following products from their formulas: formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde resin, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, xylene, and triphenyl phosphate.
