id you know that there are animal-derived ingredients in many nail polishes? They may include keratin from horses and rabbits, carmine from insects, or guanine from fish. It may not sound like a big deal until you realize these ingredients can only be harvested after the animals are dead.
We know that kind-hearted people don’t want to sacrifice animals to have pretty nails. You shouldn’t have to compromise your values to look fabulous. That’s why we have vegan gel polishes in a variety of trendy shades for fall. You can see our favorite autumn colors below.
Vegan vs. Cruelty-free Polishes: What’s the Difference?
Not all vegan polishes are cruelty-free, and vice versa. If you’re searching for nail polish suitable for a compassionate lifestyle, it’s wise to look for both terms together.
Vegan means that the ingredients come from plants and the earth, not animals or insects. However, it’s tricky to discover the difference just by reading the label. For example, squalane comes from plant sources, as well as sharks.
How can you know if nail polish is truly vegan? One option is to check the PETA database for vegan-certified brands. PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has a certification process open to companies worldwide. And it’s not a one-and-done affair – brands have to recertify each year in case they change their formulas.
As for cruelty-free nail polish, check with Leaping Bunny, which has a similar procedure for manufacturers. Cruelty-free gels should not be tested on animals or include ingredients that have undergone animal testing.
LAVIS Makes Vegan, Cruelty-Free Gel Polishes
It’s easy to tick both boxes with Lavis gel polish. Not only is it made from plant-based, non-toxic ingredients, but it’s not tested on animals, either.
Only some gel polish brands meet this high standard. For example, we also carry LDS gels. While these are high-quality polishes, they don’t claim to be cruelty-free or vegan. Neither do other major brands like OPI.
Every gel product page clearly states whether the polish we stock is vegan. Just check the description to confirm it. It’s easy to know if you’re making the kind choice.
