I left my meeting wondering.if they can make non-toxic nail polish for Japan or France, then why not us? Soon afterward I found a wonderful, U.S.-based manufacturer and created a small initial collection. They explained that it was easier just to keep making it the way they always had until they were forced through legislation or consumer opinion to do otherwise. Through talking with the reps I learned that the manufacturers commonly make one formula for most of the other global markets - such as the U.K., Europe and Japan - and use another, more-toxic formula for us here in the United States.

From my background in skin and bodycare, I knew there were certain ingredients not recommended for use in personal care products, however they commonly show up in nail polishes in the U.S. What was the catalysis to change it?Ī few years ago I was attending a spa industry trade show when I met some representatives from the major nail polish manufacturers. I love the nail polishes, I had no idea that there was so many harmful chemicals in them. I sat down with Kayse to learn more about Soulstice spa products and quality, vibrantly colored polishes. She took matters into her own hands and created a line of nail polish that's 100% vegan, cruelty free, and rid of the three worst toxins found in most US nail polishes. Want to explore other places?
