GO GREEN: A Helping Hand
Picture it: a lovely Sunday morning. The sun is shining, the sky is blue and you have no responsibilities short of getting a mani/pedi at the local nail salon. As you step inside, the familiar pungent scent of alcohol and chemicals reaches your nose—not exactly aromatherapy. Suddenly it occurs to you that the whole relaxing ritual could be a little, well, toxic. Doesn’t nail polish remover also take enamel off tabletops? Try eliminating some of the chemical element with SpaRitual’s vegan collection. SpaRitual polishes are DBP- free (dibutyl phthalate is a plasticizing ingredient which has been linked to some birth defects and recently banned in Europe). The bottles are recyclable, the ink is soy based and water soluble, the packaging is made of recycled & eco-friendly paper and, instead of fish scales (ew!), SpaRitual uses crushed mother-of-pearl to create shine in dark fall Wise colors, the festive holiday tote, and the spring line out in March 2007 called Witty. Suddenly your Sunday manicure just got a whole lot more relaxing. $9, LA: Fred Segal Beauty, 420 Broadway, (310) 451-0001, NYC: Great Jones Spa, Great Jones St., (212) 505-3185, For additional locations: sparitual.com
