The Best Nail Polish.

If you ask us, vegan nail polish is the best nail polish. Better yet, the years have shown us that non- toxic nail polish is far from a trend - its here to stay.

An increasing number of consumers are opting in to cruelty-free, vegan beauty products. Consumers are raising the bar for the beauty industry, but some still wonder how nail polish can be vegan.

To be vegan, nail polish cannot contain any ingredients derived from animal products and does not allow its products to be tested on animals. Non-vegan polish often includes widely-used ingredients such as carmine or guanine. Carmine is derived from the bodies of crushed insects which are used for its red hue, and guanine is derived from fish scales which can be found in sparkly lacquers. Although these traditional ingredients provide vivid shades and shimmer, ingredients like these are entirely left out of cruelty-free nail polish.

In the United States, the Food and Drug and Cosmetic Act (APA) which requires quality standards  for cosmetics, food, etc. does not require animal testing in order to prove that its products are safe. However, many cosmetics that are sold in the United States are manufactured internationally, where animal testing regulations vary.
