Biodegradable Nail Tips

These Vegan Nail Tips Return Back to the Earth

— July 20, 2023 — Fashion
Dr. Ryohei Mori at Green Science Alliance Co. succeeded in developing plant-based, biodegradable nail tips that reduce the beauty industry's reliance on plastic since they can be returned to the earth after use.

One innovation at a time, Green Science Alliance Co. is on a mission to replace all petroleum, fossil fuel-based chemical products with natural plant biomass-based chemical products. The introduction of these vegan nail tips follows other noteworthy releases with water-based biomass biodegradable nail polish and 100% vegan remover. These eco-friendly tips have the potential to be coated with regular nail polish, as well as the aforementioned plant-based polish for a more sustainable beauty look.

As it stands, the vegan nail tips consist of about 72% plant components and the company has its sights set on increasing this number in the future.

3. Sustainable Nail Care - The trend towards sustainable nail care products opens avenues for creating eco-friendly alternatives to traditional nail tips, polishes, and removers using renewable and biodegradable materials.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - The beauty and personal care industry can explore the development and marketing of plant-based, biodegradable nail tips as a way to cater to environmentally conscious consumers and differentiate their offerings.
2. Materials and Manufacturing - The materials and manufacturing industry can seize the opportunity to develop and produce biodegradable materials for various applications, such as nail tips, to meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives.
3. Sustainability and Green Solutions - Companies specializing in sustainability and green solutions can work on innovative processes and technologies to create eco-friendly products that help reduce plastic waste and promote a circular economy.
