Introduction and a question..

[yogacat]

Hello,
I am new on the boards here. I am currently doing a VCTC manicure and pedicure course at Chichester College, West Sussex. Soon, we'll do a Jessica training day and a 1 day basic nail extensions course (only meant as a foundation).
I mainly do Holistic Therapies, and it will probably stay that way, but reading this site and these boards is really informative and interesting!

What i would like to ask is probably a rather unusual question which i don't know if anyone will be able to answer!

I am very interested in environmental issues, and would like to be able to offer (as far as possible) an environmentally friendly manicure. I have found some quite nice products for the manicure process, but i would really like to know if there are any companies who offer biodegradable, natural-based products. I have no idea how biodegradable many things are - such as surgical spirit, nail varnish, nail varnish remover etc - my gut feeling being "not very"!
I would also like the products i use to be hypoallergenic (as far as possible).

If anyone can give me any suggestions it would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance
