Bio-beauty: world’s first plant-based biodegradable nail tips

Daniela Castillo Monagas

Dr. Ryohei Mori at Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd. developed plant based biodegradable vegan nail tips “with Re:soil” trademark. The brand name “Re:soil” originates from the concept of developing cosmetic products which return back to soil by biodegradation. This time, nail tips were made from plants so that they can be called vegan nail tips. There are a few vegan nail polish products in the market already but one would not see vegan nail tips. This type of nail tips can contribute to reducing CO2 emission. Furthermore, since these products are biodegradable, they can contribute to reducing plastic pollution too.

Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd. is aiming to replace all the petroleum, fossil fuel based chemical products with natural plant biomass based chemical products. The mother company is Fuji Pigment Co., Ltd. and they have been developing petroleum-based color chemical products for over 85 years. Dr. Ryohei Mori always had concerns about environmental damage. He has established an internal startup company named Green Science Alliance Co., Ltd. who focuses on developing natural biomass based chemical products such as biomass biodegradable plastics, biomass biodegradable resin, biomass coating, biomass glue, biomass paint, biomass color, etc. He is trying to replace all the petroleum-based chemicals into natural biomass-based chemicals in the world. In addition, recently, he had already developed water-based biomass biodegradable nail polish and 100 % vegan nail remover. And this time, Dr. Ryohei Mori has developed vegan nail tips. Vegan (plant) component is approximately 72%. The company is trying to increase the vegan component in the near future.

The company is now challenging to promote these environmentally friendly cosmetic products including vegan nail tips, water based natural biomass biodegradable nail polish, 100 % vegan nail polish remover, natural nail tips glue, in the Japanese market.
