Are Nail Polish Wraps 18-Free? Our Clean Beauty Commitment

If you’re shopping our Nail Polish Wrap Collection and wondering how safe and clean these products really are, that's a smart question to ask. More and more customers are looking for non-toxic, skin-friendly, and eco-conscious beauty options. One common question we hear is:

“Are your nail wraps 10-free or 18-free?”

The short answer? Our wraps are made without the harmful ingredients typically excluded in both 10-free and 18-free nail polish formulas. While these standards were originally created for traditional liquid nail polish, we apply the same clean beauty principles to our nail wraps—and we’re proud to meet (and exceed) those expectations.

What Does "10-Free" or "18-Free" Mean?

When a product is labeled 10-free, it means it’s formulated without 10 of the most toxic chemicals traditionally found in nail polish—things like formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

18-free goes even further by excluding additional potentially harmful or irritating ingredients, such as parabens, sulfates, animal-derived ingredients, and certain allergens.

These lists weren’t originally made with nail wraps in mind, but as clean beauty standards evolve, customers are starting to expect the same level of safety across all nail products. And we fully support that shift.
