Safe 'N' Beautiful (S'N'B), the natural nail care beauty house, has reported a steep rise in global demand for its recently launched SʹNʹB Nail Wash Off range of premium nail polishes. The 'six-free' formula, so named because it is free of six chemicals* that are considered harmful, are water-based, water-permeable polishes that can be removed simply by rubbing nails gently with soap and water. 

The polishes are an intelligent beauty solution for women who prefer a safe alternative to chemically based products, the company said, and will appeal to expectant mothers who wish to protect the well-being of their growing baby by avoiding chemically formulated polish and removers during pregnancy, as well as for women whose occupations prevent them from wearing nail polish, such as nurses, models and food factory employees.

"Women are more carefully considering the safety and eco-friendliness of the cosmetics they include in their beauty regimen," said Jeanette Sklivanou, founder of Safe 'N Beautiful. "And with time a precious commodity, women are also seeking ways to simplify their beauty routines. SʹNʹB Nail Wash Off provides the perfect solution and balance for natural beauty combined with minimum fuss."

The collection features a wide palette that ranges from rich jewel tones to vibrant summer hues and an on-trend 'Naturel' collection featuring pale buff and beige tones. For a longer lasting finish SʹNʹB provides a water-based topcoat. 

Snails and SʹNʹB Wash Off are available online and across 40 countries in select salons, boutique stores, duty free outlets and other retail locations in Asia and the Middle East. 

*The six are: formaldehyde, dibutyl phthalte (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde resin, parabens, and camphor.

JVC launches waterproof and washable sports in-ear headphones

JVC has four new sports headphones that include waterproof and washable options, all designed to stay in place during sports or workout activities.

The four new models include two in the JVC Gumy Sport line and two in the Extreme Fitness line. The new Gumy Sport headphones – the HA-EN10 and HA-ENR15 – feature a Nozzle Fit earpiece made of soft silicone and a unique shape that provides a comfortable and secure fit so they won’t fall out during exercise. 

Both Gumy Sport models are sweatproof with IPX2 water ingress protection rating, which signifies that they can be used during light rainfall. The 3.3-ft (1m) cable has an iPhone compatible plug, and small and medium earpieces are included to ensure the best fit. The HA-ENR15 includes an in-line remote control and microphone for use with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry devices. Both Gumy Sport models come in a choice of four color combinations – blue/black, black/red, pink/violet and white/orange.

The new JVC HA-ETX30 and HA-ETR40 Extreme Fitness headphones feature JVC’s new Pivot Motion Fit, a soft rubber rotating hook that fits within the part of the ear just above the ear canal to provide an ultra-secure yet very comfortable fit. To tailor the fit to each user, the hook rotates and its position can easily be adjusted while wearing the earpiece. 

The Extreme Fitness headphones are IPX5/IPX7 rated, so they can be safely washed, either by rinsing under running water or rinsed briefly in a basin of water. The 3.94-ft (1.2m) cord has a gold-plated iPhone compatible plug, and each headphone comes with small, medium and large earpieces and a cable clip to hold the cable in place. The HA-ETR40 includes additional open-type earpieces that allow ambient sounds to be heard, such as approaching traffic, for safety. It also features a splash-proof in-line remote control and microphone on a 1.97-ft (0.6m) cable plus a 1.97-ft extension cord.

The HA-ETX30 is available in four colour combinations – blue/yellow, black/green, pink/blue and white/orange. The HA-ETR40 comes in gun metallic/black and red/black.

The new JVC sports headphones will be available in late September* at the following prices*:

• HA-EN10 US$14.95
• HA-ENR15 US$19.95
• HA-ETX30 US$29.95
