Why Semi-Cured Gel Nails Are a More Sustainable Choice
Semi-cured gel nail wraps are a more considered choice for anyone thinking about the environmental impact of their beauty routine, and the reasons go beyond just the product itself.
Fewer harsh chemicals
Our wraps are non-toxic, vegan and cruelty-free, formulated without the formaldehyde, toluene or DBP found in some traditional nail products. That's better for your nails, and it also means less of those chemicals going down the drain with every removal.
Less frequent waste
With proper application, wraps last up to two weeks. Compare that to reapplying liquid polish every few days, and you end up using far less product, and generating far less packaging waste, over the course of a year.
A gentler removal process
Traditional gel and acrylic removal often relies on acetone soaking, which means used cotton pads and foil wraps every time. Our oil-based removal method skips both.
Recyclable packaging and a send-back program
Our packaging is recyclable, and our Send-Back Recycling Program lets you post back backing sheets, protective film and empty Cuticle Oil Pens to be recycled through TerraCycle rather than sent to landfill. It's a small system, but it's one more way to close the loop on a product that would otherwise be considered single-use.
