Nail varnish without toxic chemicals

(28/05/2009)

Nails, unlike hair, aren’t dead: they’re living, growing parts of the human body, and whilst we may think nothing of slicking on the nail polish, gluing plastic falsies on and cementing them with acrylic, the issue of toxicity in our nail polishes, nail art and extensions is a serious one.

Nail polishes have traditionally contained a nasty mix of cancer and reproductive disorder containing chemicals; the top three being dibutyl phlalate (DBP), formaldehyde and toluene – substances you wouldn’t really want within yards of your body or home, let alone on your nails and being absorbed into your bloodstream.

The answer is to choose a completely naturally formulated polish, such as the new Zoya range of toxin-free varnishes now stocked in all their glossy, beautiful glory on the buyOrganics site.

Not only is the range of over 50 stunning colours and nine 6-polish collections available on the buyOrganics site the safest nail polish around, but they are also all super long-lasting, matching the best performing high street brands for wear and tear.

The latest new range ‘Flourish’ has just come out, with six top shades: Cyma, Kalista, Richelle, Zara, Shivon and Mieko.

Zoya Reyzis created the range whilst pregnant and concerned about what effect absorbing toxic substances through her skin and nails would have on her unborn child. Top salons, health spas and natural organic spas, as well as many celebrities, swear by Zoya – and at just £8.95 each won’t chip into your makeup budget either.

buyOrganics chose the Zoya range for their luxury organic lifestyle website because of their performance quality, vegan status and toxin-free credentials. Nails are a living part of the body, growing about 3mm a month, and traditionally a window into the body’s health – as a diagnostic tool for inner and outer health and beauty. Nails can be affected by damage, dehydration and poor nutrition, so it stands to reason they will certainly bear the ill-effects of repeated coverage with ingredients which are banned in drinking water, food and in some household objects.

Matching your nails to the rest of your makeup for a really professional look is perfectly possible with the huge range of bright, bold, shimmery or subtle colours in the Zoya range. These days matching nails to eyeshadow colour is a hot trend – choose from one of buyOrganics’ completely natural, organic and nasties-free eyeshadows from vegan minerals range Inika or Nvey Eco to get gorgeous for a party, work or even the school run for all you yummy mummies out there.

So don’t compromise your health – or your appearance! Indulge your inner and outer craving for natural, safe beauty.
