3-Free

This means that the nail polish is free of what is known as the Toxic Trio, which are Dibutyl Phthalate, Formaldehyde, and Toluene. So, what are these ingredients and why are they used in the first place?

Toluene helps polish go on smoothly. Inhaling products containing toluene causes light-headedness, nausea and even unconsciousness. It's also linked to developmental damage for pregnant women.

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) prevents your polish from chipping and cracking. It's been designated a reproductive and developmental toxin.
Formaldehyde makes polish tough and resistant. It's also directly linked to nasal sinus cancer and the development of leukemia.

5-Free

5 Free removes the toxic three but also tosses out formaldehyde resin and camphor.

Formaldehyde resin is derived from formaldehyde and is a suspected environmental and human toxicant.

Camphor can build to toxic levels in the body and can potentially cause seizures.

7-Free

Products that are labeled with 7 free means that they are also free of ethyl tosylamide and xylene.

Ethyl Tosylamide increases the durability of nail polish products and helps in increasing adhesion of the polish to the nail surface. It is a sulfur-based antibiotic and is banned in Europe for use in cosmetics since it can cause mild to severe allergic reactions.

Xylene is irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It can cause systemic toxicity by ingestion or inhalation.

21-Free

The range name '21-free' means it is free from harmful ingredients such as formaldehyde, acetone, and parabens. The formula is made using 73% bio-sourced ingredients from plants and a renewable energy source.

The polishes have not been tested on animals which means they are 100% cruelty-free and halal-friendly.
