10 Five-Free Nail Polish Brands You Didn’t Know About

by Stephanie Montes

Just because you’re trying to do something good for your body shouldn’t mean having to sacrifice quality beauty products (especially when it comes to your manicure). Thanks to some of our favorite under-the-radar, non-toxic brands, keeping nails healthy and fabulous is easier than ever. Just so we’re clear, for a polish to truly be considered 5-free, it must be formulated without these known toxic ingredients: formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor. The best part about these polishes? Potent fumes won’t be an issue, which makes discrete desk-side touchups a breeze.

Chrome Girl

For the girl wanting to make a statement, this polish brand offers a wide range of colors, including glitters–and it's also made in the US. If 5-free is not natural enough for you, they just launched 8-free polishes for spring.
