At Anew Material, we’re reimagining the future of coatings with plant-based, biodegradable technology that
- Replace petroleum-based formulas—reducing contributions to the 400 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions produced annually by traditional coatings.
- Eliminate microplastics—using inherently biodegradable biopolymers that break down naturally.
- Reduce VOC exposure—with a water-based system that’s safer to manufacture and use.
- Minimize chemical hazards—through green chemistry and feedstocks recognized as safe by the U.S. FDA (GRAS)
What is the big deal?
Every nail polish on the market is either formulated with microplastics or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Anew Material was founded to replace them with safe and biodegradable ingredients. After years of research testing over 1,000 formulations, we’ve developed a patent-pending formula that you can finally feel good about.
What is it made of?
Inspired by nature, our ingredients are derived from plant-based sources and designed to return back to earth. Our film-formers are made with mushroom biopolymers and small molecules from pine trees and rice bran to make them water-resistant.
