REVELATIONS OF ORGANIC NAIL POLISH AND NON-TOXIC NATURAL NAIL POLISH

REVELATIONS OF ORGANIC NAIL POLISH AND NON-TOXIC NATURAL NAIL POLISH.

The majority of the bottles nestled on your dressing table, coffee table or uniformly lined up on your bathroom shelf, harbour a secret that they really don’t want you to discover.  Some nail polish brands contain nearly 30 toxic chemicals, that may be harmful to both you and your environment.  Some of these chemicals break down the natural structure of the nail, causing them to become brittle and damaged; some chemicals are so toxic that, through contamination during food preparation, they can poison both you and your loved ones.  Others, that are known carcinogens, can be swiftly absorbed through your nails into your body.  As you paint your nails, the harsh chemicals released can be inhaled by yourself and those around you; shockingly, some of these chemicals can even cause asthma – and in previously healthy individuals!

To date, despite some brands claiming to be procurers of organic nail polish, there is no such thing as an organic nail polish product.  Nor, of course, is it yet possible to produce a commercially acceptable completely natural nail polish and any brand claiming to offer either, is clearly overstepping the truth.  Brands can only strive to become more healthy, by sourcing more natural nail polish ingredients and avoiding those that are known to be highly toxic. The most important thing to look for, are brands that are “3 free”, meaning that they don’t use toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), or formaldehyde, which are all known carcinogens. Some brands also describe themselves as “5-free” when they don’t use formaldehyde resin or camphor in addition to the 3 free chemicals.  JACAVA London are 9 free (www.jacava.com) and you can see that we don’t use the 3 free or the 5 free ingredients.  Additionally, we don’t use any phthalates, lead or xylene, and we are also paraben free.  Just so’s you know.

Many brands play the ambiguous game, by switching names that mean the same thing, such as Tosylamide instead of Formaldehyde Resin.  For chemicals that cause you concern, just check the ingredients.

Whether you choose the best of the best, when it comes to more natural nail polish, or you’re just starting to green up your manicures, there’s a wealth of information available to help you make the right selection of natural nail care, so that your next manicure can be headache and as toxin free as possible.  It is well worth a moment of your time, so check it out.

In tandem with being 9 free, many of JACAVA London nail polishes contain extra nourishing ingredients, such as Argan oil, Jojoba oil and Vitamin E, to help your nails grow stronger and longer.

Argan oil is a more organic nail polish ingredient, produced from the kernels of the Argan tree (Argania Spinosa), that is indigenous to Morocco.  Argan oil is a wonderful dip for fresh bread or it is drizzled over pasta or couscous dishes.  As well as being a heart-healthy gourmet food, argan oil is rapidly gaining worldwide recognition as a premium beauty, personal care product and natural nail polish ingredient.

Jojoba oil is a more natural nail polish ingredient also. The clear golden liquid, that makes up 50 percent of the seed of the Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba plant) – a shrub that is native to north west Mexico, southern Arazona and southern California – can be added to more natural nail polish to provide a healthier alternative cosmetic product. Jojoba oil can also be used to nourish skin, hair and cuticles and it’s benefits are widely known.

Vitamin E is a more healthy nail polish ingredient, which can be found most abundantly in wheatgerm oil, safflower and sunflower oils. Vitamin E serves many neurological and biological functions, the most important and best known function being it is a fat-soluble antioxidant, preventing the propagation and destructive free radicals in tissue. As it is fat-soluble, it is incorporated into cell membranes, which protects them from oxidative damage.

These ingredients promote a more healthy nail polish, a more natural nail polish, and JACAVA London is dedicated to researching and developing only the very best quality products. With our carefully curated colour range, that blends perfectly with our very own luxurious 9-free nail polish formula, we have added Argan oil, Jojoba oil and Vitamin E to many of our nail polishes, which range from smooth creams, to shimmers, glitters and metallics. We are expanding our nail polish colours daily, to ensure that whatever the season, whatever the occasion, you can rely on JACAVA London to provide you with the very best nail care ingredients and nail polish, to compliment your fashion choice and enhance your enjoyment.
