Plastic free beauty products for nail businesses
Products
The beauty industry has a problem with plastic. Packaging is the leading contributor to plastic production and pollution, and the sector produces over 140 billion units of packaging annually on a global scale.
That’s why we’ve rounded up a variety of products that can be used in your nail treatments, satisfying clients while helping you to reduce your plastic usage.
