Green, very green, always more green

Eco-friendly polishes are great. Responsible production is even better!

At Manucurist, being green is a holistic approach that we strive to take as far as possible.

Our mission is to offer bio-sourced products and ensure a supply chain with low ecological impact from packaging to logistics, all while adopting a green attitude across the teaM's offices.

We explain our commitments and why it matters to be clean on every level.

Green polishes right down to the packaging

Say goodbye to single-use plastic—we prioritize glass and cardboard to package our products. We are constantly searching for innovative materials to bring you even greener products.

We're not perfect, but we're working hard at it, right down to shipping your products:

  • Your parcel's cardboard is 100% recyclable and sourced from sustainably managed forests. It can even be used as brown material in compost.
  • Packing peanuts are made from cornstarch, safe for both health and the environment. Careful, they're not for eating!
    To recycle them, you can add them to your compost worms or dissolve them in your sink since they are water-soluble.
  • The manifesto and sticker sheets haven't traveled around the world either—they are also made in France.

 

 

Our dream? Setting up a refill station at the Green Club, so you can come refill your bottles of Green and Green Flash removers. Stay tuned, more details coming very soon…

Production and logistics made in Europe

With us, you'll find polishes and treatments that boost your mood and are good for your health, made with love in France. As for the packaging and shipping boxes, they are European: no need to look any further.

When we outsourced our logistics in 2019, we turned to a French logistics partner who shares our values when it comes to environmental policy: waste reduction, product flow management…

 

 

A green commitment is also a social commitment: to craft our products, we chose to work with an ESAT (Establishment and Service of Assistance through Work). It is a sheltered medico-social work center for people with disabilities, aimed at fostering their social and professional integration or reintegration.

We chose to work with an ESAT that has a genuine CSR policy (Ecolabel-certified tools and consumables…) and is located close to our logistics partner to cut unnecessary CO2 emissions.

A green lifestyle right down to Manucurist offices

The teaM shares the same values: a passion for eco-responsible beauty and fashion, along with the conviction that eco-friendly should always rhyme with desirable.

 

 

At the office, we sort waste as much as possible and eliminated plastic cups at the coffee machine long ago. At lunchtime, lunchboxes are strongly encouraged to avoid single-use packaging.

At Manucurist, the green approach is holistic and super important to us! As an innovative brand, we strive to improve day after day and closely follow CSR advancements.
