The term ‘green fingers’ is taking on a whole new meaning, but it doesn’t necessarily disregard gardening or the colour itself. We’re talking about eco-friendly nail polish: non-toxic and vegan nail polish alternatives that are better for you and the planet.
In recent years science has shown that there are toxins in regular nail polish that are could be harmful to both us and the environment. An example is the potentially hormone-disrupting chemical called triphenyl phosphate. And then there’s the ‘toxic trio’ which research has shown can cause headaches, dizziness, reproductive abnormalities and cancer. In a scary twist the soft tissues that make up our cuticles and nail folds are at great risk of absorbing these nasties.
While your usual nail polish will only contain small amounts of such harmful chemicals in their formulas – and research has not yet determined the extent of damage of such exposure – it seems worrying enough to err on the side of caution.
That’s where eco-friendly nail polish comes in to save the day.
Zoya is a major producer of eco-friendly nail polish and was one of the first brands to remove all harmful chemicals from their polishes.
