Product Innovation
The benecos Nail Polish Remover is one of our customers´ favorites, but we often hear that removing nail polish takes a little more time and patience than with conventional nail polish removers. To improve performance, we investigated how to improve the formula with natural raw materials so that it removes paint more quickly. The result is a formula that we are so confident in that we have given it the nickname "Express".
