OUR STORY

Uninhibited. Transformative. Care-free.

Côte Beauty founders Mary Lennon and Leah Yari were inspired to create a beauty brand that transcends traditional boundaries, offering more than just clean, safe products—it's an invitation to embrace a lifestyle rooted in self-care and unpretentious luxury. Côte Beauty embodies a carefree, wanderlust spirit, where self-care becomes a ritual of empowerment rather than a chore. This ethos is reflected in every aspect of the brand, from its thoughtfully curated formulations and product lines to its minimalist yet chic aesthetic.

Since 2013 Mary and Leah have been at the helm of Côte, focused on safe, nontoxic nail care, and are excited to bring their wealth of knowledge from one clean beauty space to the next. Côte was synonymous with healthy, safe, and sustainable lifestyle choices. Now Côte Beauty offers customers clean and luxurious care from head to toe.

Non-toxic nail polish formulated without...

Formaldehyde

Classified as a known carcinogen, formaldehyde is often used as a preservative, nail hardener and strengthener in conventional polishes.

Toluene

Included in some polishes as a solvent to smooth application, is has been linked to impaired human reproduction and development, impaired breathing, being harmful to the nervous system and nausea.

Dibutyl Phthalate (dbt)

Shown to affect the reproductive system and linked to cancer, DBP has been used as plasticizer and solvent to increase wear.

Formaldehyde resin

A derivative of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin is often used as a hardener and in large doses can be a skin allergen.

Camphor

Added to some polishes for high-shine, camphor can cause allergic reactions in large doses, cause irritation, dizziness, nausea, and headaches.

Triphenyl phosphate (tphp)

Also known as TPP, research suggests it causes changes in hormone regulation, metabolism, and reproductive systems. It has been used in polish as a plasticizer which makes the polish flexible yet durable.

Xylene

Used by some brands to help polish from getting gloppy, xylene is also a known allergen and a possible carcinogen.

Ethyl tosylamide/epoxy resin

This ingredient has antibiotic properties which raises concern over antibiotic resistance. It can be used as a plasticizer to help polishes dry faster.

Parabens

Used as preservatives, parabens get a bad rep for having estrogen-mimicking effects which may trigger hormonal problems.

Gluten

Hydrolyzed wheat protein, while considered nontoxic by some, does pose potentially serious issues for those who are gluten intolerant. Used to help moisturize soft, brittle nails, it presents an allergy concern.

Benzophenone-1

Widely used in nail polish for its UV blocking capabilities, benzophenone helps to limit polish discoloration. While it is considered relatively harmless in small quantities, research has shown that it is linked to certain cancers, endocrine disruption, and organ system toxicity.
