Hello Tomato is not an authority in non toxic ingredients. As a small brand, we ensure that the ingredients used in our products is well researched to our knowledge. However, we are not chemists or cosmetic toxicologists, so we encourage consumers to do their personal research to better understand cosmetic labels, and feel confident in their product choices.

Who can use HELLO TOMATO?

People with sensitivities to chemicals and has adverse reactions to even non-toxic polishes which might still include irritants such as ethyl and butyl acetate. Anyone who is looking for an alternative nail polish that aligns with their philosophy of clean living. If you have hypersensitive skin, please do a patch test on a small area of your skin first before application, and don't use the ERASER GEL as it contains alcohol.

What if I don't have any sensitivities to regular polishes?

Our nail polish was not created for people who are used to long wearing gel and acrylic polishes. Because it's a water based formulation, it can't be as durable as regular polishes. So if you are used to those, it will take a whole new mindset to justify that switch. HELLO TOMATO will last half the time of regular polishes before it starts to chip, and needs our Eraser Gel to remove instead of Acetone.

What are some adverse nail product reactions?

Skin irritation such as redness, swelling of fingertips, rash, blisters, contact dermatitis, headache, dizziness, nail lifting from nail bed, nail fungus.
