Karma Organic Nail Polish Remover with Rose Oil - Non Toxic, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Acetone free – Nails Strengthener for Fingernails – 4 fl. Oz

A few years ago I wanted to find a more gentle, natural and less toxic nail polish remover. A lot of research and many reviews later I found this product. I absolutely love it and have not used (and wouldn't use) anything else! The price is fair and it really works, meaning it effectively removes nail polish, leaving nails nourished and hydrated. It also lasts and it smells heavenly (lavender). I highly recommend it!

No chemical/toxic smell. It removes my Essie Berry in Love perfectly well without diluting it and ‘reapplying it’ all over my nails and cuticles and cotton round first, like acetone does. (For all the ladies out there that like red/berry colors on their nails, like I do, you know how messy it is to remove red/berry polishes. No more messes with Karma Naturals remover). It works faster than acetone on my Essie nail polishes, no need to keep the cotton round pressed on the polish for the remover to penetrate the polish. A little quantity on a cotton round is more than sufficient to remove polish from 5 nails, (I keep my nails short because I like the 1930/1940s’ red polish look, longer nails might need more); therefore, the 4fl oz will last me some time. I think it will work great for ‘precise use’, to clean up little quantities of polish that I might inadvertently smudge on my cuticles or outside the bed of my nails during application, exactly because it does not dilute and redistribute the polish all over. It is powerful, more powerful than acetone, I can ‘feel’ it on my nails and skin after I use it and wash my hands but does not dry out nails and skin as acetone does. It cleans so well and so fast - and safely (apparently) - that it makes me want to change nail polish and try new colors more often. I do not know why it took me so long to discover it but it is one of those products that checks all the boxes for me and makes me want to say: finally! This is the remove that I will use from now on.

I love this remover! It does not have that horrible chemical smell, removes the polish the same as those with acetone, etc., and does not dry my nails out. To be honest, I was surprised it worked so well. If you are looking for a cleaner option that actually works - this would be it!

Very impressed with quick delivery and careful packaging. I ordered the Karma Naturals Nail Polish Remover in lavender, just one bottle since I am a first time user. It had been recommended a number of times as a remover that was gentle on nails. I have been very pleased with it. As others have noted, this type of remover has more of an oil base which I find preferable to the strong acetone products, and it will feel different - in a healthy nails good way. The scent is mild and pleasant. I use it to remove clear polish from my fingernails and have had good results.

I tried the lavender one and I’m very happy! Took my nail Polish off well and gently without drying out my nails. Much better than acetone for nail health. And smells great! It takes a little more effort but really not much. I saturated a cotton ball and pressed firmly on the nail for a short time before rubbing off. It is more expensive but IMO worth it. It makes removing polish a pleasant experience rather than one to rush through due to unpleasant smell and harshness of acetone.

I like it. Dropped a star because I ordered orange scent. Got lavender in orange bottle. Fool others, not me. Keeping it because it is Gentle. Works, but takes longer than smelly remover or acetone. I’ll order orange (again) next time.

Great product. Removes polish easily and is good for my nails. Smell is pleasant too. Packaged very well and shipped quickly.

Update 07/10/16:-- Even with the price, I'm sold on this stuff, because my nails and cuticles are SO MUCH happier with this than with normal nail polish remover. My cuticles are smooth and tidy, and on some of my nails, you can even see a line where they're rougher and paler above the line, and smoother and pinker below. I had no idea how badly my nails had been abused from acetone-based removers until I started using this.-- However, I am still hanging on to a little bit of acetone-based remover, because you can't use this stuff for cleanup (meaning, you can't use it to wipe away tiny bits of polish to neaten up your manicure). It's just too hard to control with precision.-- NO staining. Not even with really intensely pigmented polishes. If some color gets on your fingers during removal, you just wipe it again with this remover and it's gone.-- Below, I tried the remover on a dense glitter polish, and was concerned that you'd need to use way too much of the stuff to get polish off. Good news: if you're not using it on a glitter polish, you don't need to use nearly as much.-- Also, the most important thing I learned: The amount of time and elbow grease you need simply vary from brand to brand, and from even from product to product within a brand. Some polishes and base/top coats whip off even faster than they do with acetone, some need you to put in a good amount of soak time and rubbing effort, and everything in between. Not sure if that's characteristic of all soy removers or just this one, but I wonder if some of the bad reviews saying "this doesn't work" have to do with this.Anyway, I'm all about this stuff now. Very happy with my purchase after 6 weeks of frequent use.Original Review 05/29/16:Tried this out for the first time on a 4-day-old manicure of base coat, 2 thick coats dense microglitter polish (China Glaze Boundary of Memory), and thickly applied topcoat.PROS:+ Did get all the glitter polish off in about the same amount of time as pure acetone.+ Nails were happy and moisturized when I was done, not even a LITTLE bit traumatized.+ You can just use an ordinary paper towel instead of a cotton pad or other fancy stuff -- and I only needed half of one paper towel to do all 10 nails.+ Mild oily smell, no other smell.+ Formula is non-toxic and biodegradable, and the package is a glass bottle with an aluminum top (all recyclable).CONS:- It's not fast. You have to rub some on, let it sit, and then scrub at it (don't wipe, use elbow grease -- I found a back-and-forth key-turning motion to be the most effective). Overall it only took a little longer than normal remover would on glitter polish, but it'd be a headache if it took that long on regular polish.- EXPENSIVE! $12 for 4 oz! (Compare: $3-4 for 8 oz of pure acetone at most drug stores)- It's very oily. Your hands will be very greasy while you're working. Don't plan on touching anything important until you're done, and be sure to wash your hands.???s:- It is made from soy oil. Since Karma Organic Spa's number is printed right on the front of the bottle, I suppose one could call them directly to see if it's safe to use for people who are allergic to soy. (The manufacturer of a different soy-based remover claims that there are no allergy-triggering compounds or proteins remaining after the manufacturing process.)- I felt like I had to use a LOT of product to get the polish off. That's pretty normal for glitter polish, but if you need the same amount to get regular polish off, you'd probably only get 10-11 uses out of this tiny little bottle.- Since I was using it on glitter polish in a clear base, I wasn't able to tell from this first use whether this remover would result in finger staining with more pigmented polishes. If it doesn't, that'd be a big plus for me, since I like saturated colors and dark colors.
