Really, it's just another nail polish post. Wednesday I ditched about two dozen bottles of gross, toxic, separated and rancid nail polish. I'm rebuilding my home collection with Zoya colors, and maybe soon with picks from Pacifica.
Pacifica's a totally vegan line of fragrances and beauty products. Based on their website, their bread and butter is perfume, which I'll admit has me wondering just how 'natural' their ingredients are. EWG has just 39 Pacifica products in the Skin Deep database, all with ratings of 5 or lower, but most with limited data (which can mean that not all ingredient information has been disclosed). Good Guide has even fewer product listings -- just a half dozen, all with just partial data -- and doesn't give their solid perfumes very good health ratings. You can see for yourself here. I guess we'll hold off on final judgment for now?
The company announced the nail color line last month on Instagram of all places.
They have just two colors going for Spring: Dark Desert Highway and Turquoise Tiara. But -- according to the website -- all colors will be '7 free'. Pacifica's adding xylene and parabens to the industry's nearly standard list of offensive ingredients.
Will those ingredients be replaced with other harmful chemicals? Don't know. Don't know much of anything because Pacifica itself hasn't said or done a whole lot with this launch. But apparently they've said enough, since I'm now watching closely for a new nail product that will chase off the likes of OPI and Essie back to the toxic hells from which they came.
Happy Friday,
Jazzy
