Think of cleaning your beauty routine? It's easier than ever to do, thanks to the latest natural beauty products (which actually work!). Here are the four greatest new trends in natural beauty that will make you convert.
Healthier Manis are here to stay
Ever wondered what is in these bottles in the nail salon? We leave you on a dirty secret: some are loaded with potentially toxic chemicals. The good news is, "The industry is making progress," says Ruth Kallens, founder of Van Court, a nontoxic nail studio in New York City. While there is no organic nail polish, the formulas are much cleaner these days. Most brands are now largely five-free, meaning they lack five iffy chemicals: formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor. "Five-free is the new standard," says Kallens. Some polishes in the trendy shades come in seven-free, eight-free, and even nine-free formulas.
But making a great Polish is not just removing bad ingredients; It is also about integrating good. A small group of brands infuses natural ingredients into their formulas to promote healthier, stronger nails. Some Poland we love (above): Londontown in Fruit Tella ($ 16; londontownusa.com), Deborah Lippmann in the message in a bottle ($ 20; nordstrom.com) And Maxus in Inspired ($ 18; amazon.com) -all seven-free or more (the Londontown is nine-free!), With treatments to boot. And do not forget about Polish Remover: Jessica Washick of the blog U need no man. U Need a Manicure Votes for Zoya Remove + Nail Polish Remover ($ 10; birchbox.com). "Unlike other nature removers, that's fast," she says. "You do not have to scrunch hard back and forth."
