Ingredients & Product Information

Our nail products are cosmetic items intended for external use only.

Ingredients are listed using standard cosmetic ingredient naming conventions. Ingredient presence and order may vary depending on the specific formula and shade.

Formula Standards

21-Free Nail Polish Base

Our standard nail polish base is formulated without the following ingredients commonly excluded from cosmetic nail products:

Animal-derived ingredients, toluene, benzene, xylene, formaldehyde releasers, formaldehyde resin, phthalates, cyclic silicones, camphor, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), glycol ethers of the E-series, hydroquinone (HQ), monomethyl ether hydroquinone (MEHQ), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), nonylphenol ethoxylates, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, chromium oxide greens, CMR substances, synthetic fragrance, or ethyl tosylamide.

Base Formula Characteristics

We use proprietary base formulas designed to balance smooth application, durability, and color performance. These are traditional air-dry lacquer formulas that dry quickly in thin layers and continue to set over time.

For glitter shades and heavier pigments, a thicker suspension base is used to keep effect materials evenly distributed. If a thinner formula is preferred, a standard nail polish thinner may be used. Please note that thinning glitter or pigment-heavy formulas may cause settling in the bottle. Shake well before use to re-incorporate.
