Suncoat Vegan Mascara

Suncoat

This mascara is natural and sugar-based, enriched with vitamin E. It is good for those with sensitive eyes since it's free from PVP, fragrance, alcohol and glycol. 

 WHAT MAKES THE CONVENTIONAL MASCARA?

Synthetic plastics, such as acrylic copolymer and PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), are found in many popular brand mascaras. They are used mainly as the binding agent/film former in liquid eyeliner to glue pigments and fillers together so the mascara can stays on your lashes. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals; contain residual monomers (the starting materials for producing plastics, namely acrylic monomers, vinyl pyrrolidone monomer and vinyl acetate monomer) that are not only toxic, but also reactive.
Synthetic dyes, glycol, alcohol and chemical preservatives are also used in conventional liquid eyeliner formulations.

SUNCOAT PIONEERS SUGAR-BASED TECHNOLOGY

Suncoat has pioneered an innovative sugar-based technology for cosmetics and hair styling products, using natural multi-sugar biopolymer instead of synthetic chemicals.
For decades, synthetic plastics, typically PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymer), acrylic copolymer, VA (vinyl acetate) polymer, have been widely used in color cosmetics, hair styling products and skin care products. They can be found even in many so-called natural products. These synthetic plastics are derived from petrochemicals, so not the best choice to enhance our natural beauty and to protect our environment.
Suncoat has introduced a unique sugar-based technology to remove these synthetic plastics. In Suncoat natural mascara, eyeliner and hair styling products, a very unique sugar-based biopolymer (polysaccharides) is used in place of synthetic polymers. This sugar-based biopolymer is derived from natural renewable resources, readily biodegradable and most importantly delivers superior performance without harming our systems and the environment.

With Suncoat,




I like it. It's buildable, doesn't clump much and is not prone to smudging. Good for everyday use, I guess.


Although it isn't the type of mascara to give you that "vavavoom" effect, it makes your eyes look pretty, in a natural way. :)

PROS: 
Resists smudging
Buildable (naturally builds lash volume and length)
Lasts long
Eco friendly (It's sugar based!)
Pvp and paraben free
Good for those with sensitive eyes
Not sticky nor flaky
Washes off easily (I don't like mascaras that are sooo hard to remove, my eyes get irritated with too much washing and rubbing)
When it smudges, you can easily remove it by using baby wipes (one swipe and it's gone - no residue)

CONS:
Not waterproof
It doesn't give you dramatic eyes
Availability

SO...
If you have sensitive eyes, 
or if you're looking for an everyday mascara that would give you a natural look,
you can try this one.

Sorry, I look ghastly in my photo. You see, I've been sick for two days now :(
Hay and the flash does not help. I hate my camera, it takes HIT AND MISS photos but it's the only thing I've got right now. I wish my mom and dad would buy me a new one :((
Btw, would you believe I've only used Ponds Flawless White Powder/Foundation, Ponds Moisturizer and The Body Shop tint in this photo? :)
See? You don't have to use expensive products to achieve flawless, skin :)
