While our nails are hard and feel almost impenetrable, “our bodies can still absorb toxic ingredients from the products you place on your nails,” Johanna Congleton, a senior scientist with the EWG relayed.
You’ve just chosen your polish, picked out your favorite magazine, and put your foot in the pedi-tub filled with warm soaking water. Now it’s time to paint your toes in formaldehyde, parabens, and other toxic carcinogens. If this sounds wrong, then it’s time to take a closer look at your nail polish choices. You see, many mainstream polishes contain toxic chemicals like these. At milk + honey, our nail treatments are toxin-free and safe. See what makes us different.
Get ready for Summer with the new Ginger Ritual Manicure + Pedicure from Spa Ritual. This limited-time treatment includes the same nail care as our Lux Combo and features an energizing Indonesian Ginger essential oil. The warm, zesty aroma of ginger will instantly relax your mind and body and rejuvenate your skin, while sand and salt scrubs gently buff away dry skin.
What’s So Great About Ginger?
Since the 4th century B.C., ginger has been used for its soothing properties. Ginger is a natural pain reliever and is made up of about 90% sesquiterpene. Sesquiterpene is a chemical compound that helps soothe the nervous system and contains natural antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agents. Along with its antibacterial properties, ginger oil contains high levels of antioxidants. In fact, the only foods that have a higher antioxidant content than ginger are pomegranates and blueberries. Ginger oil helps to diminish dark marks, scars, and age spots.
