In the world of cosmetics, we increasingly hear about vegan products gaining popularity not only among vegans but also among those who want to live more consciously. One such product is nail polish. But are vegan nail polishes really better? Let’s take a closer look.
What are vegan nail polishes?
Vegan nail polishes are products that do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. Moreover, their production does not involve animal testing. This is an important aspect that attracts customers who care about the ethical dimension of their purchases. Let’s consider what is in traditional polishes that makes vegan alternatives gain more and more followers.
Traditional nail polishes often contain ingredients such as guanine (derived from fish scales) or carmine (a dye obtained from insects). In the case of vegan polishes, these ingredients are replaced with synthetic or plant-based substitutes. More about polish ingredients can be read on the [Cosmetic Chemist](https://www.cosmeticchemist.com) website.
Health and environmental benefits
Vegan polishes not only eliminate animal-derived ingredients but are often also free from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, or phthalates. These ingredients can be dangerous to our health, and avoiding them is an additional advantage of vegan polishes.
Furthermore, by choosing vegan products, we support more sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods. Less chemistry means less pollution in the environment. Doesn’t that sound like a small but significant step towards a better world?
Our experience with vegan polishes
At Easy Nails, we had the opportunity to test various brands of vegan polishes and have a few conclusions. First of all, we noticed that the quality of these products often matches, and sometimes even surpasses, traditional polishes. The durability and intensity of the color are high, and the application is easy and pleasant.
However, as with any product, vegan polishes can vary. Some brands offer a more fluid consistency, while others focus on thicker formulas. It is worth trying a few to find the perfect one for you.
Are vegan polishes more expensive?
The question of the cost of vegan polishes often arises. Are they more expensive than traditional ones? The answer is not straightforward. The prices of vegan polishes can vary, but they are usually comparable to the prices of high-quality traditional polishes. However, it is worth remembering that by investing in vegan products, we support ethical production and take care of our health and the planet.
