This summer, Zao have created 3 summer pastel shades to add to their bio-sourced nail polish range, as well as a summer bright shade to highlight your tan.
 
Nail Polish 680 Lilac: This soft, feminine colour is a beautiful pastel lilac for sophisticated and subtle glamour.
 
Nail Polish 681 Mimosa Pastel: This soft yellow illuminate nails perfectly, making it ideal for a beach holiday.
 
Nail Polish 682 Sugared Almond Blue: This delightful on-trend shade will enhance summer attire with its fresh and summery appeal.
 
Nail Polish 683 Orange Coral: This summer bright shade is super-flattering with tanned skin for the ultimate summer vibe.
 
Without any toxic ingredients and enriched in silica from bamboo oil, you can use them without limitation.
 
Zao nail polishes are now 10 free, free of 10 known toxicants traditionally found in nail polish. The new formula contains 65.5-99% of ingredients from natural origin by the replacement of petrochemical solvents with agro-solvents from potatoes, manioc, corn and wheat.
 
The composition is free of 10 harmful ingredients: toluene*, formaldehyde*, dibutyl phthalate*, formaldehyde resin, paraben, xylene*, camphor, rosin*, styrene and benzophenone. Therefore, with the new 10 free formula, we have now removed 2 new harmful ingredients: styrene and benzophenone.
 
Non toxic product: Organic water-based nail polishes chip and flake very easily, so Zao has devised a nail polish that enjoys the quality of traditional nail polishes but without the toxic chemicals, resulting in an effective and long-lasting nail polish that does not compromise your health.
 
Ingredients highlight:
 
Bamboo extract: Naturally rich in organic silica, it makes the nails harder and more resistant.
 
Free from:
 
Dibutylphthalate (Endocrine disruptor. Irritation of the eyes (lacrimation, conjunctivitis) and upper respiratory tract (nasopharyngitis, bronchitis possible), if ingested or inhaled: headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hematuria, dizziness, photophobia (sensitivity to light) and nephrotoxicity)
 
Toluene (Neurotoxic. Its vapours may be irritating to the upper respiratory tract and eyes above 100 ppm. Following repeated or prolonged contact, this product has a degreasing effect on the skin. It can cause redness, peeling and cracking. Inhalation of vapors may cause central nervous system depression.)
 
Formaldehyde (Carcinogen. In 2004, IARC has classified formaldehyde as a carcinogen to humans (Group 1). In Europe, it is classified as “category 3 carcinogen” (possibly carcinogenic to humans), but after a more severe proposal of France, this classification is under review.) Xylene (Irritating and nerve: This product causes mild eye irritation and moderate skin irritation. Inhalation of vapours may cause central nervous system depression. Exposure to vapours may cause irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Following repeated or prolonged contact, this product has a degreasing effect on the skin. It can cause redness, scaling and cracking.)
 
Colophony (rosin) (Irritating / respiratory disorders: Several cases of skin sensitisation are also reported. The cases are isolated but quite varied: beauticians who applied depilatory waxes containing rosin, as well as artists who reacted to their stage makeup.)
 
Synthetic Camphor (Irritation: eyes, upper respiratory tract if inhaled: decreased frequency of breathing, slow heart rate, worsened symptoms if inhaled in large doses.) Source: CSST – Toxicological directory service (http://www.reptox.csst.qc.ca/)
