Yesterday at work, a woman came into my shop and asked if we carried “all natural mascara“. I declined unfortunately because not only does the store carry hardly any eco-conscious cosmetics (it has mostly cool art and eco-friendly home stuff), but I have yet to see a mascara that would fall into this category. What it did bring my attention to though were the eco-friendly, chemical free nail polishes and nail polish removers that we sell. I never paid much attention to this line of products while working. I guess because I am not completely convinced that chemical free nail polish removers work really. Either way, it sparked an interest in the company that makes them and I started to do some research. Priti is a New York based company that creates organic, chemical free skin and nail care. Kim D’Amato, the founder of Priti has a 100% eco-friendly, sustainable, non-toxic, organic spa in New York’s Lower East Side.
The spa offers manicures, pedicures, facials, massages and waxings using only organic products and non-toxic polishes. In 2005, D’Amato launched Priti Polish, a line of nail polishes that are formulated without DBP and formaldehyde. The polishes are $12.50 and come in fun colors like Magic Man Iris, White Ballet Dahlia, plus the bottle is completely recyclable.
Along with the polishes, Priti makes a soy-based nail polish remover that is 100% biodegradable, derived from farm crops and does not contain any petroleum ingredients.
4 oz. Soy Polish Remover: $11.25
