Beyond the Polish
Waterless service: We eliminate water soaking entirely — a documented source of bacteria in conventional salons.
Every service uses warm towel cleansing and premium softening treatments instead.
Hospital-grade sterilization in our Clean Room: All tools are sterilized to clinical standards between every client. Not rinsed. Sterilized.
Fume-free air: Because we don’t use electric filers, acrylics, gels, or harsh solvents, the air in our studio is genuinely clean — not masked by ventilation or fragrance.
What We Leave Out: The 10-Free Standard
At Mulberry, what we exclude from our studio is just as important as what we include. When we say our polishes are "10-Free," it means they are intentionally formulated without the harsh, toxic chemicals traditionally used in nail care. We guarantee that you will never be exposed to the following ten ingredients:
-
A harsh chemical traditionally used as a nail hardener and preservative.
-
A liquid solvent used to give polish a smooth finish, known to cause strong, lingering fumes that disrupt a serene environment.
-
A plasticizer used to prevent polish from chipping, which has been flagged for its potential to disrupt natural hormone functions.
-
A synthetic polymer derived from formaldehyde, used to add depth and gloss, but known to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.
-
Used to give traditional polish its glossy, plastic-like appearance, but often responsible for the sharp, pungent odor in conventional salons.
-
A plasticizer used to increase durability and dry time, banned in European cosmetics due to its chemical profile.
-
A solvent used to keep polish from getting goopy, known for its strong, headache-inducing fumes.
-
A family of synthetic preservatives used to extend shelf life, frequently avoided in modern, health-conscious beauty and skincare.
-
(TPHP) Added to traditional polishes for flexibility, this chemical is linked to changes in normal hormone function and reproductive health.
-
Our 10-free commitment also ensures our polishes are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, honoring our holistic approach to conscious consumption.
