7-free: No harmful ingredients in the nail varnish – cruelty-free and vegan
Harmful ingredients in nail varnish can cause long-term damage to your nails. The solution is so-called ‘free-from’ nail varnish, which contains no toxic ingredients and may even be vegan. 5-free or 7-free nail polishes are a great alternative for anyone consciously looking for a healthier option to conventional polishes. As a rule, the following five substances are considered harmful: formaldehyde, phthalates, toluene, camphor and rosin. With 7-free nail polishes, the attributes “vegan” and “cruelty-free” are also included.
Which ingredients in nail polish are of animal origin?
When thinking of nail polish, one would probably not immediately think of animal-derived ingredients. This is incorrect, as nail polish can also contain animal-derived ingredients.
In particular, the colour and effect pigments in many nail varnishes are not vegan. Red nail varnish is often produced using carmine. Carmine is a red pigment obtained by crushing Nopal scale insects. For every 1 kilogram of the red dye, 150,000 scale insects must die; as red is present in many colour variations, this animal-derived ingredient is found not only in classic red, but also in pink, violet, brown and many other colours. In addition, there are so-called effect pigments, such as guanine. This pigment is responsible for the shimmer and is extracted from fish scales. However, nail care polishes or oils in nail cosmetics may also contain animal-derived ingredients. One example is keratin, which is produced from ground-up hair, horns or hooves.
The vegan nail varnish
The vegan lifestyle is all the rage and focuses on the well-being of the environment and animals. However, a vegan lifestyle doesn’t just mean avoiding animal products in food and clothing, but also in the little things of everyday life. This includes nail varnish, which women are reluctant to do without.
Why buy ‘free from’ nail polish?
If using conventional nail polish from chemists or beauty shops isn’t necessarily harmful to your health, it’s worth switching to “free-from” nail polish. Your nails will stay healthier, break less often and have less split ends.
