Product Information

Choose from the elegance and glamour of the French manicure, a classic look or trend-setting colours; our nail polishes will meet all your desires!

Without any toxic ingredients and enriched in silica from bamboo oil, you can use them without limitation.

Our nail polishes are '10 free', free of 10 known toxicants traditionally found in nail polish. The formula contains 65.5-99% of ingredients from natural origin by the replacement of petrochemical solvents with agro-solvents from potatoes, manioc, corn and wheat.

The composition is free of 10 harmful ingredients: toluene*, formaldehyde*, dibutyl phthalate*, formaldehyde resin, paraben, xylene*, camphor, rosin*, styrene and benzophenone. 

Non toxic product: Organic water-based nail polishes chip and flake very easily, so Zao has devised a nail polish that matches the quality of traditional nail polishes but without the toxic chemicals, resulting in an effective and long-lasting nail polish that does not compromise your health.

Ingredients highlight:

Bamboo extract: Naturally rich in organic silica, it makes the nails harder and more resistant.

Free from:

Dibutylphthalate (Endocrine disruptor. Irritation of the eyes (lacrimation, conjunctivitis) and upper respiratory tract (nasopharyngitis, bronchitis possible), if ingested or inhaled: headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hematuria, dizziness, photophobia (sensitivity to light) and nephrotoxicity)

Toluene (Neurotoxic. Its vapours may be irritating to the upper respiratory tract and eyes above 100 ppm. Following repeated or prolonged contact, this product has a degreasing effect on the skin. It can cause redness, peeling and cracking. Inhalation of vapours may cause central nervous system depression.)

Formaldehyde (Carcinogen. In 2004, IARC has classified formaldehyde as a carcinogen to humans (Group 1). In Europe, it is classified as “category 3 carcinogen” (possibly carcinogenic to humans), but after a more severe proposal of France, this classification is under review.) Xylene (Irritating and nerve: This product causes mild eye irritation and moderate skin irritation. Inhalation of vapours may cause central nervous system depression. Exposure to vapours may cause irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract. Following repeated or prolonged contact, this product has a degreasing effect on the skin. It can cause redness, scaling and cracking.)

Colophony (rosin) (Irritating / respiratory disorders: Several cases of skin sensitisation are also reported. The cases are isolated but quite varied: beauticians who applied depilatory waxes containing rosin, as well as artists who reacted to their stage makeup.)

Synthetic Camphor (Irritation: eyes, upper respiratory tract if inhaled: decreased frequency of breathing, slow heart rate, worsened symptoms if inhaled in large doses.) Source: CSST – Toxicological directory service (http://www.reptox.csst.qc.ca/)

Very good nail polish

I love this nail varnish range, colours are true to images, love that they are non toxic. I find you need two coats (as with most varnishes) to get a strong clear colour, I painted my toes the day before I went away, have been away for a week swimming twice a day and the colour has stayed in tact ) I used the nail protecting undercoat underneath which I imagined has helped. Have used plenty of nail varnish brands in the past and I’d say this is among my top favs!

I had a green colour and a pink one. They’re very good. Only comment is the green chipped quickly within a day or two. Like that they’re free from nasties and also the caps are bamboo. But the pink is holding up well! Overall happy!?ZAO note: Thank you for your lovely feedback. The Duo Top & Base Coat helps protect your nail polish and makes it last longer.

I bought the nail varnish in coral. It looks good with the bamboo lid and is easy to apply. It was slightly pinker than I expected but I got several compliments when wearing it! I wore just one coat and it started to chip after about three days which is fairly standard for nail polish. However, I liked the fact that when I removed it it didn’t make my nails feel stripped. Will definitely try other shades. V quick delivery.

Amazing nail polish, quick drying. The metallic/ shimmery look is really nice. Will be buying more colours in the future.
