The Best Non Toxic Nail Polish Brands
I’ve been on the hunt for the best non toxic nail polish that is not only safe for me, but also for my little girls as well.
So you will also find the best non toxic nail polish for kids here too. Because I think these options make fun choices for my little ones as well as for mom. 😉
And while non of them are completely free from all chemicals, we at least have options to choose that are safer.
I spent a few weeks testing out a variety of non toxic nail polish brands. Some are less toxic than others. And some also performed slightly better than others.
I’m going to break down my favorite and the best non toxic nail polish for you.
I tested them out on every day wear and in doing regular household tasks.
We are on a mission to slowly eliminate toxins from our home. This not only includes the food we eat and the products we clean with.
But also our health & beauty products as well!

Toxic Chemicals Avoid
Before we dive into the review of the best polishes, I want share a bit of the toxins that you’ll want to avoid. And why.
These chemicals may effect the nervous system (brain & nerves), are known cause problems with the reproductive system, and can cause dizziness, numbness and irritation.
Here are a few of the main offenders.
- Toluene
- Camphor
- Formaldehyde
- Xylene
And I’m happy to report that the 6 nail polishes I’m sharing are free of these chemicals.
Of course the best option is to avoid painting our nails. But, sometimes we want to feel feminine. We want to have cute nails. And my daughters love it too.
So this is why I searched for our best non toxic options.

I’m sure that there are more brands out there that would qualify as a good non toxic brand. I purchased these nail polishes and tested them out over a few weeks.

But, my personal favorite brands are: Sophi, Ella + Mila, and Zoya.
