Sante Cosmetics Nail Varnish

The formula contains far fewer reactive ingredients than conventional nail polishes. Sante polishes have a lower allergenic potential. They contain NO formaldehyde; NO toluene; NO colophony (rosin); NO phthalate; NO synthetic preservatives; NO synthetic fragrances; NO color lakes; highly-refined colorants.

Recently received the highest rating “Recommended without reservation,” from the German language magazine, Oko-Test, which regularly evaluates natural products!

Comes in great colors to match many of their lipstick colors. The very act of using nail polish is a compromise to those seeking natural products, so why do we have them? Because we know that women will at times decide to use them. There are companies who market solvent polishes with less in them, but why use a product that won't stay on the nail? Some also have pthalates even though they may not have toluene or formaldehyde. This product can replace that OPI manicure while still allowing you a professional look. We always admonish to use nail polish with extreme caution. You still have to take it off, and there is that potential to absorb unwanted ingredients into your system, but if you decide you have to wear polish, we feel this is the look and brand for you in the end.

Consider purchasing a swatch card to view the colors better. This card is made of actual swipes of each polish shade on a 4 X 5 index card for your convenience. This product is not available in samples, so this is the best way we can provide something close to it for you.
