What's in Your Polish? Understanding the Benefits of 10-Free Formulas

Loving your nails goes beyond a pop of colour. It's about keeping them healthy and strong. Traditional nail polishes from big brands often contain a cocktail of chemicals that can raise concerns. This is where 10-free nail polish steps in, offering a healthier and more sustainable alternative.

What is 10-Free Nail Polish?

The term "10-free" refers to nail polish formulas that are free of ten of the most common and potentially harmful chemicals often found in nail polishes. These chemicals include:

  • Formaldehyde: A strong-smelling preservative linked to respiratory irritation and potentially carcinogenic.
  • Toluene: A solvent that can cause dizziness and headaches.
  • Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP): A plasticizer that may disrupt hormones.
  • And more!

Why Choose 10-Free?

There are several compelling reasons to make the switch to 10-free nail polish:

  • Safer for You: By avoiding these potentially harmful chemicals, you're minimising your exposure to toxins that can irritate the skin and potentially cause health problems.
  • Gentler on Nails: Traditional polishes can weaken nails over time. 10-free formulas often skip harsh ingredients that can contribute to brittle nails.
  • Better for the Environment: Many 10-free polishes are formulated with eco-conscious practices in mind, reducing the use of harmful chemicals that can pollute waterways.
  • Breath Easy: The strong odour associated with traditional polishes can be unpleasant. 10-free formulas often have a milder scent or are virtually odourless.

10-Free Doesn't Mean Sacrifice

Gone are the days when "safe" nail polish meant sacrificing vibrant colours or long-lasting wear. Today's 10-free polishes offer a wide range of stunning shades and impressive durability, rivalling their conventional counterparts.
