A Fab List of 5 Free Nail Polish Brands
Over the past few weeks we’ve been featuring some of our favourite 3 free & 4 free brands (not to mention the cruelty free ones). Today we are going one better, we are featuring even safer varnishes that are 5 free.
The Growing List
It’s no secret that nail varnish is a toxic offender when it comes to ingredients. While they may not be so bad in small doses, we think there is no reason to expose yourself to danger in the name of beauty. Today’s brands are not only free of the Big 3 chemicals, Formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and Toluene, they are also free of Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor.
Some of the larger cosmetic companies also make formulas without these chemicals. However many of them are known to test on animals so we are sticking to the good guys.
Yes, It Gets Even Better
We applaud these brands for their dedication to bringing you brilliant nails in a healthier way. Believe it or not, we have another list of brands who take it a step further with water based formulas. As always, be sure to let us know about anyone we are missing in the comments below.
Cruelty Free | 3 Free | 4 Free | Water Based | Vegan

Hi, thank you for the list! But I have seen just a moment ago, at the Ulta website, that the nail polishes of Essence do contain camphor
They are 4-Free, not 5-Free.
