Zao Daring Volume Mascara

This amazing mascara from Zao Makeup has been crafted by combining ecological and cosmetic standards. Its 98% natural and Vegan-certified formula allows each application of this mascara to enhance your lashes with rich, velvety pigmentation. Its curved brush, composed of nylon fibres, perfectly hugs the shape of your lashes. 

The Daring Volume Mascara goes beyond mere aesthetic perfection. With its new refill system, a simple push is enough to replenish your mascara, significantly reducing plastic waste and helping to preserve our planet.

Choosing Zao and the Daring Volume Mascara means opting for an environmentally friendly lifestyle that will benefit the planet. Join the ethical beauty movement, one mascara application at a time.

Please note that this 1-click mascara refill cannot be used to refill our other mascaras in the ZAO range. 

This mascara is 98.91% natural, due to the inclusion of 2 preservatives as follows:

• 0.55% Sodium Hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, is used to control the pH of the mascara to prevent it from being too acidic and thus irritating. 
• 0.45% Potassium Sorbate, a highly effective preservative against yeasts and moulds. This antimicrobial is also used in the food industry under code E202 and is recognised as safe. 

DARING VOLUME MASCARA FEATURES

• 98.9% natural ingredients 
• Vegan Certified by PETA. Products and ingredients not tested on animals and free of animal products.
• Palm oil usage: Contains Glyceryl Caprylate (RSPO palm oil derivative used only).
• Refillable to reduce waste
• Plastic usage/packaging: Refillable bamboo outer; inner refill is recyclable clear plastic. Plastic sticker for legal information.
  

HOW TO USE 

First work the upper lashes, holding the brush horizontally closer to the root and then go up in a stretching motion. Emphasise the outer lashes to enlarge the eye and centre for a more open look.

If the brush is too loaded, remove the excess with a tissue but not at the edge of the tube.

MY FAVOURITE INGREDIENTS

• Bamboo Hydrosol: Derived from the distillation of bamboo leaves, this active ingredient is recognised for its richness in silica that remineralises, strengthening and repairing thin and weakened eyelashes. 

• Carnauba Wax: Secreted by the leaves of a palm tree native to Brazil, this wax is a film-forming agent that protects your lashes by producing a continuous film that improves the staying power of your makeup. 

HOW TO REFILL?

All of Zao products are refillable and with Zao making great changes to their packaging, most are now plastic free! Can't see a refill available on my site? It's because Zao haven't brought out their plastic free option yet, but as soon as they do, it will be available at Plastic Freedom!

REFILL YOUR ZAO MASCARA

1. Remove lid and pull out mascara wand (you get a new one with your refill)
2. Unscrew the white part on the mascara and remove
3. Remove the tube inside (this can be washed and recycled so although this isn't 100% plastic free you're saving a lot of plastic in comparison to normal mascaras as you can not recycle the whole tube)
4. Remove the sticker from mascara refill and slot into the bamboo tube - there is a ridge that slots into the tube perfectly
5. Push want into the bamboo lid
6. Re-attach the white metal part to the bamboo tube
