Slip into the greens and blues It’s Earth Day and it is more important than ever to prioritize the planet. So before our sales info, here are a few advice that we nail lovers can take to help protect our beloved Mother Nature.
1: Buy eco-friendly nail products Do you know what are called the "Big Three"?
Traditional nail polish components such as toluene, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate, are called the “Big Three,” which may cause many health issues. When choosing nail products, go for something fun but be mindful of their formulas and production procedures. Eco-friendly products use fewer harmful chemicals, emit fewer toxins into the air, and use sustainable ingredients like biodegradable plastic and recyclable packaging.
2: Choose high-quality reusable products and tools Good quality products last longer and will result in fewer trips to the nail salon and more at-home mani and pedi sessions.
You can also reduce the waste of your nail-care routine as this results in fewer products being tossed into landfills or ocean, which is not only great for the environment, but also cost-effective for you. Blue and green colors will remind you of the beautiful earth, that's why they're also perfect summer colors to add breeze to your hot-day style!
3: Dispose of nail products properly Finally, when it’s time to dispose of your nail products, make sure to do it in the correct manner.
It's highly recommended that you use recyclable nail products that are not hazardous. Look for eco-friendly nail products that can be cleaned and disposed using green methods. Recycle empty nail polish bottles, plastic packaging, and empty nail polish remover bottles to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
