HABIT

Best For Skincare-Infused Formulas

Habit Beauty focuses on non-toxic ingredients, like myrrh extract, and combines them in its multitasking, kind-to-skin formulas. Every shade in the range is designed to be universally flattering – plus, the products are certified organic, cruelty-free and vegan. Finally, it’s the only make-up brand based out of the US that uses recycled plastic packaging as well as FSC-certified paperboard boxes –it even uses bamboo bottle caps to cut down on its plastic use.

786

Best Halal-Friendly Brand

When husband-and-wife team Ibrahim Ali and Iqra Isphahani spotted a gap in the market for Halal-friendly beauty products, 786 was born. Developing formulas that fit religious and cultural requirements – while still being safe to use and of the highest quality – the brand is now certified as vegan and cruelty-free. We love how detailed each colour description is on the website.

Kure Bazaar

Best 10-Free Formula

The natural formulas from premium French nail care brand Kure Bazaar are already a firm favourite among top models and beauty insiders alike. Quick drying and easy to apply thanks to the specially designed brushes, these nail colours are also described as ‘10-free’ – which means they’re made without ten of the most common chemicals found in other nail products.  

Available at Naturisimo.com

Manucurist

Best Gel Polish

Regular readers will know how much we love Manucurist. Its products are formulated with up to 84% bio-sourced ingredients – including potato, corn, cassava and cotton – and the formula is also ‘9-free’, cruelty free and vegan. Check out the innovative gel range, which is formulated without toxic ingredients but lasts just as long as a regular gel manicure in the salon.

Gitti

Best Selection

Gitti’s aim is simple – to make conscious and sustainable beauty products that come in sustainable packaging. After learning that some nail lacquers use insect and fish scales to add to the pigment, the brand’s founders set out to find a safer and kinder way of working. All Gitti’s nail colours are 19-free – meaning they eliminate 19 questionable ingredients and replace them with better alternatives.”
