Aloe Vera Mascara – Black 090

Available in - 7ml 090 Black & Refill Option

ZAO Aloe Vera Mascara, with the structured lash-by-lash brush wand this gives excellent definition, volume and staying power! Its natural nourishing formula nourishes your lashes with organic aloe vera, castor oil and shea butter whilst coating your lashes from root to tip with intense black colour.

Perfect for daily or evening wear, this mascara will give you the length and volume you want.

Free from synthetic preservatives and chemicals, this mascara reduces the risk of redness and irritation to your eyes. Suitable for frequent use and even ideal for those with sensitive eyes and skin.

The bamboo case is beautifully sophisticated and original, your mascara also comes with it’s own cotton pouch.

The switch to natural mascara can be a tricky one as if in the past you have been using a synthetic mascara with dimethicone (a plasticiser) in it, this will have coated your lashes in plastic and can make it quite hard when switching to a natural mascara. Unfortunately we have unrealistic expectations of a natural product due to the synthetic ones we have used in the past and the results they have given us!  Take your time when applying and let each coat dry before applying again for thicker lashes.  A good tip is to use an old clean dry mascara brush in between coats to separate your lashes and helps drying time.

Important Ingredients: 

These ingredients are what makes Zao 090 Black so special!

Organic Aloe Vera Gel: Known for its soothing virtues, organic aloe vera gel repairs and soothes the contours of the most delicate eyes.

Organic Acacia Gum: Acacia gum or gum Arabic is derived from the resin secreted by the Acacia Senegal tree. Plant-based and vegan, acacia gum is used as an adhesive agent, which helps improve the hold of Zao Mascaras for a long lasting look.

Organic Carnauba Wax: Secreted by the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil, this wax is a film forming agent that protects the skin through the production of a continuous film and thus improves makeup durability.

Packaging

Although not completely plastic free, this ZAO mascara is refillable, you keep the bamboo case and refill the plastic bottle inside.

The refill bottle is plastic but it is easily recyclable and much better than replacing the whole thing.

You keep the mascara wand and wash between refills.

Load the brush carefully, but don’t overload.

Use the brush to start off with the upper lashes, holding the brush horizontally close to the root, move up in a zigzag motion while you look down.

Make sure to go over and concentrate on the ends to enlarge the eye as well as on the centre to open up the eyes.

Gently tap the eye lashes when applying mascara to the lower lashes, ensuring that you don’t overload them and leave them with a clean but volumised look.

Mascara is an essential part of your makeup kit, just a touch of mascara can work wonders.

Tips: before you put on mascara, always make sure your eyelashes are dry and free of cream or oil and if possible dust them with powder (this will give even more volume and staying power)

Open the mascara gently and in one movement, avoid pumping to keep the product on the brush, but make sure that you haven’t overloaded it also. If so just gently remove any excess with a tissue (not at the opening of the bottle)

If you have a few drops of mascara on your skin after you’ve applied it, wait until it is dry, then gently wipe it off with a our biodegradable cotton swabs.

If you are wearing foundation, you can dab a little on the cotton swab before removing the mascara to ensure your complexion remains even.
