Nail polish is one of the most controversial cosmetic products when it comes to health. But it doesn't have to be! With the brand 'Kia Charlotta' and its 14 free nail polish, good quality and good health can be combined. And we'll tell you here what all this has to do with gut health.
The Kia Charlotta label shares its name with its founder - even if this was rather unplanned. Nevertheless, the brand stands for everything that Kia and her fiancé stand for, namely living vegan and consciously. The brand was born in 2017 and has been selling vegan and toxin-free nail polish ever since. 14 free is the motto here, as Kia and her brand do not use any solvents or plasticizers in their polishes, which can be harmful to health, or ingredients of animal origin.
According to many studies, typical ingredients such as formaldehyde or triphenyl phosphate can damage the nails directly as well as penetrate the body via the respiratory tract or by being absorbed through the skin, leading to DNA damage and thus to cancer or infertility. Hormonal imbalances and organ damage caused by formaldehyde cannot be ruled out with conventional nail polish either.
Unfortunately, this also affects the Gut, which is an important hormone producer in our lives and, together with its microbiome, reacts very sensitively to toxic environmental factors. Harmful substances can enter the Gut through the bloodstream and attack the organ.
Together with Kia Charlotta, we say: Beautiful nails don't have to be toxic! Nail polish can look good and be vegan without harming your health. So don't look any further, join Kia Charlotta in avoiding 14 potentially hazardous substances and animal suffering and enjoy nail polish in lots of great colors.
