The Unicorn Lab Transparency Standard
We've looked into it, after hours and weeks of research, we found the top 20 brands claiming either 100% Organic or Certified Organic" - only 3 we found were able to prove they actually were based on their ingredients and product information.
17/20 brands were at most only using an organic base - just like we do. So in short - most cuticle oils actually arn't 100% organic, let alone Certified - yikes.
At Unicorn Lab, we prioritize total transparency over deceptive marketing. While our high-performance nail serum is built on a base of organic ingredients like Jojoba and Argan oils, claiming to be "100% organic" would be chemically and ethically inaccurate for two specific reasons: our ethical shimmer and our luxury fragrances.
First, minerals like mica can never be certified organic. More importantly, we choose Synthetic Mica for our clean beauty formulations because it is the only way to guarantee a 100% child-labour-free and heavy-metal-free product. Second, we utilize premium, phthalate-free fragrance oils to ensure our signature aromas are long-lasting and stay true to their notes.
Does Unicorn Oil use organic ingredients? YES!
Is it STILL Organic after adding fragrance oils and colour? Not really - which is why we state our BASE ingredients are. Why? Let us explain:
This 12-free, vegan approach ensures your daily routine effectively conditions the nail, supports the appearance of healthy nail growth, and helps minimise dryness, rough texture, and hangnails commonly associated with picking-prone nails. Our Australian-made cuticle serum—available in travel-ready pens, dropper bottles, and refills—is about prioritizing safety, education, and ethics.
Our foundational nail educator training was held under strict European guidelines with top international mentors, emphasizing the critical link between product knowledge and client safety. These were held and enforced in the highest regard.
These professional standards set the benchmark for how we approach nail care, and we hold those core values high to this day. This Australian formulated blend is designed to deliver the ultimate finish without the misleading labels—exactly the way professional systems should be.
