Nail polish is a staple in many people's beauty routines. It adds a pop of color to our nails, completes our outfits, and boosts our confidence. But have you ever wondered what makes some nail polishes better than others? One key factor that distinguishes quality nail polishes is the type of pigments they use. At Noorb, we use organic pigments from the minerals of the Armenian Highlands. So let’s answer the “why?”
To appreciate the benefits of organic pigments in nail polish, it's essential to understand the fundamental difference between inorganic and organic pigments.
Inorganic pigments are minerals or metallic compounds that are often used in traditional nail polishes. They include ingredients like titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and chromium oxide. These pigments are known for their durability and intense color payoff, making them a common choice in the cosmetics industry. However, there are downsides to using inorganic pigments. They can be harsh on the nails, causing them to become brittle and prone to breakage. In addition, these pigments can release toxins which are harmful to both the environment and human health.
Organic pigments, on the other hand, are derived from natural sources such as rocks like Armenian Red Porphyry and Tufa. Our organic pigments offer a safer and more eco-friendly alternative to their inorganic counterparts. They are free from toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phtalate, camphor and toluene, making them gentler on the nails and less harmful to the environment.
Now that we understand the basic differences of inorganic and organic pigments let's explore why organic pigments are a superior choice for nail polishes.
Organic pigments are free from harmful toxins and chemicals, which makes them a healthier option for your nails and your nail master. You can wear organic pigment-based nail polish with confidence, knowing that it won't negatively impact your well-being. This is especially important for individuals with sensitive nails or skin.
