Vegan Nail Polish | Why we love Sienna Byron Bay in Australia
How good is the feeling when you purchase an item that's organic or eco-friendly and it actually works? That's just one of the reasons so many customers love Sienna Byron Bay's range of vegan nail polishes in Australia. But not only that, as a stockist we get to know the people behind the brand, which really means a lot to us as we like to know our brands are really genuine about their products.
The team behind Sienna Byron Bay work hard, really hard on creating a premium brand that delivers exactly what it promises. In doing that, they have gained numerous certifications giving their customers certainty that they are purchasing products that are everything they claim to be, while still looking amazing!
We recently had a quick chat with Danielle, founder of Sienna Byron Bay about their recent achievements. Even in that time, Sienna Byron Bay had just been confirmed as B-Corp as well. This is huge as they 'basically do an ethical audit of the WHOLE company, even down to how much we pay our staff vs how much we pay ourselves'.
You already have a number of certifications under your belt, how does it feel to be Australia’s first Nail Polish Company to achieve this certification globally?
- It's great. We’ve always been the cleanest on the market without using Benzophenone-1 and with all the greenwashing in todays world, this is a great certification to clarify our clean status.
Was it a difficult process to achieve this accomplishment?
- It's always a bit if a process with all certifications. This one was not too hard – we had to submit our documentation including production processes and ingredients and they have a look through it to make sure there is nothing untoward.
Where to next for Sienna?!
- We have just become a certified B-Corp brand! This one was HUGE. It’s taken near on 3 years to go through all of the paperwork and dot our I’s, cross our T’s. This is an ethical audit of the WHOLE company. They look at EVERYTHING. And they hold you accountable for good. If anything changes you are legally bound to make sure they’re in the loop and they continue to watch you closely. Another fabulous certifications and we’re one of two nail polish brands world wide to get this! We have more in the works too. More certifications, more colours and more general awesomeness.
B-CorporationSienna is extremely proud to be a certified B Corporation. Certified B Corporations meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. |
