benecos nail polishes – affordable & vegan! The formula is enriched with biotin and is water- and air-permeable.
Happy nails, happy you!
We have developed our vegan, plant-based* benecos nail varnish formula – made from wood and sugar cane – to be particularly breathable, meaning it allows air and water to pass through, so that water and oxygen molecules can reach the nails even through the varnish. It is also enriched with French apple seed oil, which is a by-product of cider production and is therefore upcycled in our nail varnishes. Together with biotin (=vitamin H), it nourishes the nails and ensures they look beautiful.
As well as the attractive price, what makes these nails ‘happy’ is the intense coverage, the short drying time, the beautiful shine and the excellent application.
