SpaRitual provides an option for vegan nail polish.
Manicures! Pedicures! The joy of pampering. You can guarantee that pretty much everyone has come across nail polish/varnish/lacquer and it’s distinctive smell at least once in their life. Some of us spa workers, multiple times a day…or hour.
There was some concern recently about the ingredients that go into the more popular brands. As a result, some smaller niche products began popping up, understanding the descerning spa go-ers desire for an alternative. These have grown in popularity and now include full ranges of unbelievably gorgeous colors that can can proudly declare to be “Vegan”, one of those being SpaRitual. Now what this means is that there are absolutely NO animal derivatives at all in the process it takes to make the polish. They have also managed to formulate with naturally occuring colors and are free of synthetic dyes. They are one of the few that can claim to be toluene, formaldehyde and DBP-free. What is DPB? The full name is dibutyl phthalate, which is currently banned for use in cosmetic products in Europe, but not here in North America.
Both Spa Ritual and OPI have gotten rid of their formulas containing those ingredients, but only SpaRitual can claim Vegan Status.
We at Spa Boutique are huge fans of SpaRitual. Everytime we come across one of the colors, there’s lots of exclamations of embarassingly girlish noises and dreamy, far-off looks while we think of how this particular hue represents us as a person. But no matter what color we choose, we can feel good about using it!
