Is Olive Ave Polish really non-toxic?
Yep! We're still nail polish but we have found alternatives for 21+ harmful ingredients typically used in nail polish formulas.
Non-toxic isn't a regulated term which can mean customers have to google lots of ingredients to evaluate the safety of a product. We know you're busy and we value transparency which is why we list the Environmental Working Group safety analysis of every ingredient in our base formula. Check it out here.
Is Olive Ave Polish really cruelty-free?
Yes! We're Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free which means we are re-certified every year. Leaping Bunny evaluates not only our finished products but also all of our ingredients and certifies that there is no animal testing whatsoever.
What does 21-free mean?
21-free means we exclude the following from our formula:
Animal derivatives, Toluene, Benzene, Xylene, Formaldehyde releaser, Formaldehyde resin, Phthalates, Cyclic Silicones, Camphor, Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), Glycol ethers of series E, Hydroquinone (HQ), 4-Methoxyphenol (MEHQ), Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP), Nonylphenol ethoxylated, Tert-Butyl Hydroperoxyde, Chromium Oxide Greens, Bismuth Oxychloride, Carcinogenic mutagenic reprotoxic (CMR), Synthetic fragrances, Ethyl tosylamide
Fun fact- there are no requirements for what 21-free means so good on you for digging a little deeper. Transparency is one of our core values and you can read more about our ingredients here.
Isn't all nail polish vegan?
We LOVE this question. And the answer is - nope! Some polishes include ingredients like silk or keratin. Others include coloring agents like carmine. Ours are guaranteed to be 100% free from animal products.
How long will it take to get my nail mail?

Need your order faster? Select "skip the line" at checkout and we'll ship yours first for a few extra dollars.
Do you ship outside the US?
We ship to Canada, Mexico, South America, Central America, The United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Unfortunately we can no longer ship to countries in the European Union due to EU restrictions.
Shipping to Canada is free on orders USD $85+. Wolrd wide shipping free on orders USD $200+.
Why donate to Postpartum Support International?
1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from postpartum depression and/or anxiety before or after childbirth. Postpartum Support International is an organization dedicated to ensuring all families have access to resources and education to support with PPD and PPA. This mission is close to my heart as a mom. I know first hand that self-care isn't just about taking time for yourself it is also about getting the support and resources you need to thrive. That's why we donate 1% of profits to the important work of Postpartum Support International.
