About Us
Welcome to YANA ™ brand of nail treatments and polishes - an uplifting and healthy way to step up your nail care game! Our amazing “24 Free” formula is not only long lasting with low odor, but it is void of the top ten toxins found in most other polishes! The first collection, the Archangel Collection, was inspired by the colors and energy of the Archangels. Let us rejoice!
Hi, I’m Sheila, founder of YANA ™. In the late 90s I was a nail technician (no jokel!) and while I really enjoyed the vocation and the industry (the creativity, the fashion, and the self expression) my true passion was in that of health and wellness. I became focused on nutrition, fitness and ALL THINGS HEALTH ~ mind, body and spirit. A large part of my journey has been and continues to be working with energy. Learning different integrative therapies that promote well-being on all levels, not only within myself but within that of others! I even established a business helping people and pets (yes, I said pets!) feel better emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Fast forward to 2018 when the idea of YANA ™ was angelically placed upon my heart. I began to explore the possibilities and did a ton of research.
And then in 2020, during a worldwide pandemic I launched YANA ™. I felt strongly that it was time. That the energy of YANA ™ was needed and ready to be shared once and for all!
YANA ™ brand nail treatments and polishes were created for two reasons, first and foremost, my passion for health and wellness and secondly, to create an inspiring product that consumers would feel good about purchasing for themselves and for others.
In doing research I found the nail care market is estimated to be a $2.7 billion industry! Which is incredible if you think about it (who knew??). Nail care products and polishes appeal to women and young girls of all ages, but the problem is that many brands are still using toxic chemicals to produce their products. Whomp, whomp. These chemicals are known endocrine disruptors! Double Whomp, Whomp..
As a former nail tech turned health and wellness enthusiast I decided to create my own healthy formula nail polish brand. One that would be free of the top 24 toxic and hazardous chemicals found in most polishes currently in the market place.
Toxic Ingredients like:
Formaldehyde
Tolulene
DBP - Dibutyl Phthalate
Camphor
Formaldehyde Resin
Xylene
Parabens
Ethyl Tosylamide
Triphenyl
Fragrance
Animal Derivatives
Benzene
Bismuth Oxychloride
Carcinogenic Mutagenic
Chromium Oxide - Greens
Cyclic Silicones
Glycol Ethers Series E
Hydroquinone
Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK)
4 Methoxyphenol (MEHQ)
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates
Phthalates
Reproxic (CMR) Substances
Tert - Butlyhydroperoxide
In curating YANA ™ it was important for me to provide the best product I possibly could. Each decision has been (and will continue to be) carefully and thoughtfully made. Over the course of 2 years my vision had been coming to life, BUT I couldn't forget about how it all began - the Angels! And so befitting that the first collection of "Energy Infused Polish" be rightfully dedicated to the Archangels.
Enjoy in health and wellness,
XO Sheila
