Earthy Nail Polish – Nature’s Beauty Earthy Nail Polish is on a mission to provide the highest quality product with the least impact on the environment Earthy Nail Polish is a high-shine, long-lasting plant-based nail polish that has also replaced single-use plastic caps with highly sustainable bamboo. Bamboo absorbs five times the amount of carbon dioxide compared to trees and produces 35% more oxygen. The brand was formed during lockdown, born from a frustration towards unsustainable cosmetic products that do more harm than good to your nails. As bamboo is a grass itself, it regenerates within four months without the use of pesticides or insecticides due to its natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. The bottle and cap can be returned to Earthy Nail Polish to be cleaned and reused creating a circular economy. Earthy Nail Polish’s formula is 79% naturally derived from cassava, sugar cane and corn which is certified by ISO 16128. Derived from natural
origin and BioSource bases, the company’s range includes 30 high shine and long lasting shades from bright colours to neutral tones including collections that give back – Thank you Heroes Collection which donates £7.99 to NHS charities together and the Stop Hate Collection which donates 25% to the charity Stop Hate UK.
