About Pastel
Pastel is a make-up brand from Turkey; a guide to Turkish make-up brands describes it as offering liquid matte lipsticks since 1989. The products in our database carry Turkish labels (Oje for nail polish, Allık for blush) and are mostly numbered nail polish shades, plus a blush, a matte lipstick, a cream highlighter, a liquid eyeshadow and a concealer.
A nail polish profile
Nail make-up accounts for 6 of the 13 Pastel entries and general make-up for 4, so the ingredient ranking is shaped by lacquer chemistry: TIN OXIDE (10) and SILICA (9) lead, followed by a group of film formers and solvents found in 8 products each – NITROCELLULOSE, ETHYL ACETATE, BUTYL ACETATE and BENZOPHENONE-1 among them.
Fragrance is rare: only 2 formulas (15%) declare it, and silicones also appear in 2 (15%). No product contains parabens or denatured alcohol (ALCOHOL DENAT.).
Reading a polish label
Nail polish lists are dominated by solvents (ETHYL ACETATE, BUTYL ACETATE) and film formers (NITROCELLULOSE), which evaporate or harden as the polish dries. Each numbered shade is a separate entry, so compare the colourants (CI numbers) on the exact shade rather than assuming two Pastel polishes share one list.
