Biodegradable Nail Tips

Solving global warming takes more than just trees

Dr. Ryohei Mori at Green Science Alliance Co. succeeded in developing plant-based, biodegradable nail tips that reduce the beauty industry's reliance on plastic since they can be returned to the earth after use.

One innovation at a time, Green Science Alliance Co. is on a mission to replace all petroleum, fossil fuel-based chemical products with natural plant biomass-based chemical products. The introduction of these vegan nail tips follows other noteworthy releases with water-based biomass biodegradable nail polish and 100% vegan remover. These eco-friendly tips have the potential to be coated with regular nail polish, as well as the aforementioned plant-based polish for a more sustainable beauty look.

As it stands, the vegan nail tips consist of about 72% plant components and the company has its sights set on increasing this number in the future.
