Green by Manucurist - tested and certified

October 17, 2021 2 min to read

At Manucurist, we’re green addicts and proud of it, because we know that “green” is more than just a buzzword. When we talk about our commitment to more natural beauty and bio-sourced formulas, it’s backed by the labels and certifications our products have earned and the assurances they give you.

For years, we have chosen to partner with leading certification bodies in environmental protection and sustainability. Earning these labels is recognition of the quality of our formulas and a guarantee that our production meets the standards we care about. For you, it is a mark of reliability, transparency, and trust.

Vegan-certified nail polishes and nail care

But what exactly is a vegan product? According to the Vegan Society, it’s a product that meets the following three criteria:

0 animal-derived ingredients in the formula,
0 animal testing,
0 animal-derived ingredients in packaging materials.

These three conditions are incredibly important to us, and we follow them carefully when designing and making our products. That’s why our classic Green nail polishes, Green Flash semi-permanent nail polishes and entire range of nail care products are not only bio-based but also certified vegan by the Vegan Society. Our Nail Art brushes are too: we use synthetic bristles rather than the sable hair commonly used in brushes for precise lines.
The Green Flash Base Coat is also expected to receive certification during 2022.

Next-level organic certification for your hands

When we created our hand care range, we had a clear ambition: for every product in the range to meet the requirements of the most demanding organic certification. So, to develop the Manucurist Hand Cream, we followed the standards set by Cosmos Organic. Designed for organic and natural cosmetics, this certification sets strict standards for environmental responsibility and packaging recycling, and guarantees that products contain no GMOs or petrochemical-derived ingredients. To qualify, a product must also contain:

at least 95% ingredients of natural origin,
At least 20% organic ingredients.

Mission accomplished for our Hand Cream, which achieved Cosmos certification with flying colors!

Certifications even for our accessories

And yes, we believe in being consistent across the board and making sure that all our products, right down to the accessories, are made to the standards of the best certification schemes.
That’s why our lovely make-up bags and beautiful bags carry GOTS certification (Global Organic Textile Standards). Among other things, it guarantees environmentally responsible production processes and the use of organic fibres, while prohibiting hazardous substances such as heavy metals.
Our labels (on brushes, nail polishes, creams…) are printed on FSC-certified paper (Forest Stewardship Council). The FSC is an international organisation that promotes sustainable, environmentally appropriate forest management worldwide.
