Sustainability
We pledge to continuously improve the sustainability of our products. We are proud of our achievements so far however, we endeavour to do more.
Bamboo Cap
We have developed a bamboo cap that seals the bottle to ensure not only the longevity of the nail polish but also replace a single use only plastic cap.
Our bamboo cap is decomposable and highly sustainable due to the following facts;
-
Bamboo is a grass
-
Bamboo absorbs five times the amount of carbon dioxide as trees
-
Bamboo self regenerates in 3-4 months
-
Bamboo contains natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties
-
Bamboo produces 35% more oxygen than trees

All of our nail polishes and treatments are produced with a platinum 2020 Ecovadis Sustainability rating.

Recycle and Reuse
Earthy Nail Polish are proud to offer a return reuse program . This program allows for a circular economy with the materials used. The program works by returning the used nail polish bottles and bamboo caps to us. We clean, sterilize and reuse the materials. Anything that is beyond use is processed through our recycling management partner. Our current return and reuse rate is 16% - we recognize that the shelf life is 24 months for the nail polish contributing to the delay in returns.
Please return your used bottles and caps in person or by post to:

Be aware of the risk of cross contamination from non-vegan sources in the production area and take all reasonable practical steps to eliminate this. If producing non-vegan lines too, we strongly recommend running the vegan line first.
