Nail Varnish DUO Base & Top Coat - Zao Makeup

Introducing these fabulous toxin free nail varnishes by Zao.  Enriched with silca made from bamboo oil to condition your nails. The Base and Top coat DUO, it’s a must have!

Like a Base, it protects and takes care of your nails. Like a Top coat, it optimises the performance of your nail varnish. It can also be used alone as a clear nail varnish.

'10 free' Nail Varnish meaning that 10 known toxins traditionally found in nail polish have been replaced. 82% of this new formula ingredients are derived from potatoes, corn, wheat and manioc. Organic water-based nail polishes can chip and flake very easily, so ZAO has devised a nail varnish that delivers the quality but without the toxic chemicals, resulting in an effective and long-lasting nail polish that does not compromise your health.

Their formula, enriched with bamboo rhizome macerate, rich in organic silica, helps to strengthen the nails. These nail varnishes offer excellent hold, ultra-shiny finish and fast drying.

The application is easy thanks to the large and flat brush which allows a perfect diffusion of the product on the whole nail. These come in a glass bottle with a bamboo lid.  There is a small amount of plastic in the lid due to these needing to be leakproof.  Zao continue to lead the way in sustainable and natural cosmetics.  They are looking at a refill and plastic-free alternative.  

 

How to use:

Apply to bare nails as a base for your coloured nail varnish - 1 coat.  Then apply your coloured nail varnish and once dry apply the Top Coat.  Can also be worn alone for a natural healthy look.

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. Zao isn't completely plastic free though these nail varnishes are still a much more healthier, sustainable and eco-friendly alternative. 
ZAO as a brand and their products are the best eco-friendly options for sustainable, vegan and natural makeup we have tested.  We believe this is a far better choice than purchasing a completely new plastic packaged makeup. ZAO are always working towards reducing their plastic which is also why it is so great to support this brand. Along with being 100% Natural, Vegan & Cruelty-free ingredients they continue to work towards being plastic-free .  At Vera-Bee we will always support brands like Zao who are leading the way in sustainable eco-friendly makeup!
