Our Pick: 5 Vegan Nail Polish Removers Worth Trying

Embracing a vegan lifestyle goes well beyond your diet — there are many animal ingredients in clothing, household, and beauty products. We’ve brought you healthier and less harsh, cruelty-free nail polish removers that work.

Nail polishes and nail polish removers are mostly chemical cocktails that are harmful to our health. Fortunately, the market has evolved, and now we’re able to find non-toxic and vegan-friendly nail polish and nail polish removers.

But what makes a nail polish remover vegan? If there isn’t a “vegan” or “cruelty-free” label on it, search for any of those ingredients:

• Guanine
• Carmine
• Shellac
• Keratin

If there’s any of them in the ingredient’s list, forget about it and choose another that hasn’t any of it. But we’ve done our homework, and we brought you the best vegan nail polish now on the market.
