Zao's Aloe Vera Mascara delivers intense volume, definition, colour and durability. Featuring a structured brush wand for lash-by-lash application to coat your lashes from root to tip, this mascara also cares for your lashes with a nourishing formula of aloe vera, shea butter and castor oil. The Aloe Vera Mascara will gives your lashes va-va-voom in a way that organic mascaras have not previously been able to achieve. Perfect for evening wear, this is the first organic mascara to deliver performance matching synthetic mascaras.
This is the refill for the bamboo packaged mascara sold here.
Free from toxic synthetic preservatives and using premium quality raw materials, this mascara reduces the risk of irritation and redness to eyes. Suitable for contact lens wearers, daily use and for those with sensitive eyes. Zao's new mascara is now refillable to reduce plastic waste.
Please note that we have enhanced the Aloe vera mascara with an ingredient upgrade. The new formula is now available in black, with brown to follow as stocks deplete. As such, the ingredients are slightly different for each shade at this time, as detailed in the description below.
A wand is included with all mascara refills due to hygiene regulations, but please note that a lot of wildlife charities will take old mascara wands as they are extremely useful for removing things such as fly eggs and larva from the fur and feathers of animals.
Ingredients highlight for 090:
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. Used as an adhesive agent, it improves the hold of Zao mascaras.
Organic carnauba wax: Secreted by the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil, this wax is a film- forming agent that protects skin through the production of a continuous film and thus improves makeup durability.
Ingredients highlight for 091:
Organic aloe vera juice (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice): The aloe vera plant is renowned for its use in natural medicine for centuries, and is used in our mascara for its abilities to treat conjunctivitis and other eye allergies. Known for its soothing qualities, organic aloe vera juice nourishes and fortifies eyelashes.
Organic castor oil (Ricinus communis seed oil): Castor oil has purifying, nourishing and fortifying qualities, due to its richness in fatty acids and vitamin E.
Organic shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter): Shea butter is extracted from the fruits of the shea tree, which only grows in West Africa. Its richness in fatty acids promotes nourishment and moisture retention to skin. Recommended as a stimulant to wound healing, it is also protective against UV with soothing and calming qualities.
Zao brand does not use nanoparticles, talc and parabens (synthetic petrochemical-based preservatives) in its formula, using instead micronised silver as an effective and non-toxic preservative.
Instructions for use: The most effective way to apply mascara is to start with the upper lashes; hold the brush horizontally and move up from the root in a zigzag fashion while looking down. Focus on the outside lashes if you wish to to makes your eyes appear larger, or focus on the centre to 'open up' eyes. Use sparingly on lower lashes by gently tapping on them.
Zao beauty tip: Mascara should be applied to clean, dry lashes that are free from cream or oil, after a dusting of powder to extend durability. Pull the mascara wand out with one movement and avoid pumping the mascara wand in the bottle. Wipe excess product with tissue rather than using the opening of the bottle as this can lead to dried out formula re-attaching to the brush. Wait until mascara is dry to remove any errors from skin, gently wiping it off with a damp cotton pad or cotton bud. You can then touch up foundation on the area if needed, using the same cotton pad or bud.
