Common questions

Is Essie Strong Start Base Coat healthy?

Essie Strong Start Base Coat scores 44/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Essie Strong Start Base Coat?

Essie Strong Start Base Coat lists 9 ingredients, starting with n-Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Phthalic Anhydride/Glycerin/Glycidyl Decanoate Copolymer, Nitrocellulose and Isopropyl Alcohol. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Essie Strong Start Base Coat contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Essie Strong Start Base Coat’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Essie Strong Start Base Coat?

Essie Strong Start Base Coat has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
