La-Bek’s First Step Toward a More Sustainable Future

La-Bek’s First Step Toward a More Sustainable Future

At La-Bek, we’ve always believed in doing things differently — creating beautiful nails with minimal fuss and zero fluff. But now, it’s time to do better not just for your nails, but for the planet too.

Why We’re Making a Change

The beauty industry creates an incredible amount of waste, and we don’t want to add to the problem. That’s why we’re starting to phase out some of the disposable items included with our nail kits — starting with single-use prep pads.

What We’re Phasing Out:

  • ✂️ Prep pads: Customers can prep with polish remover, Isocol like polish remover, Isocol, or even just thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water — no extra packaging needed.
  • ???? Excess packaging: We’re continuing to ship our nail sets without unnecessary boxes, and we’ve introduced a TerraCycle soft plastic recycling program in-house.

When Is This Happening?

We’re starting now — but you may still receive prep pads with your orders over the next few weeks while we use up existing stock. Once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

What’s Coming Instead:

We’ll soon be launching high-quality reusable tools, a new cuticle balm, and a top coat — all thoughtfully packaged with sustainability in mind.

This is just the beginning.

We’re the only semi-cured gel nail brand actively working toward lower-waste, more sustainable beauty — and we’re so glad to have you with us.

Let’s do better together. ????
