Green Science Alliance, led by CEO Dr. Ryohei Mori, has introduced a pioneering water-based “natural biomass” nail polish and matching base coat formulated with nail-repairing and strengthening ingredients. The launch represents the company’s latest effort to replace petroleum-derived materials with biodegradable alternatives sourced from plant biomass, advancing both plastic reduction and carbon-neutral chemistry.
Dr. Mori, a specialist in green chemistry, and his team have spent years developing a range of biomass-derived resins, plastics, coatings, adhesives and inks. Their new nail treatment builds on that expertise by replacing traditional organic solvents with water, allowing keratin and other repairing actives to dissolve more effectively without irritating fumes. Pigmentation relies on inorganic minerals and biochar, ensuring all colorants are free of petrochemical components.
The formula combines nutrient-rich banana and coconut milk extracts with a proprietary PhytoAcid+ blend of seven plant acids, plus peptides and ferments drawn from cherry, green pea and chili. These ingredients work in concert to gently exfoliate, hydrate and fortify the nail plate, although the precise efficacy of the repairing action is still under scientific evaluation.
This release follows earlier product launches—including plant-based biodegradable nail tips, gel systems and polish removers—and extends the company’s commitment to a fully circular materials economy. All items are manufactured and sold through the company’s e-commerce platform, with plans to expand distribution across Japan and international markets.
By leveraging water-based, biomass-derived polymers and traditional Latin American botanicals, Green Science Alliance aims to set a new standard for clean, effective cosmetics that honor both consumer safety and environmental stewardship.
