The Struggle Was Real - As a Muslim woman, I faced a common challenge wanting to enjoy beautifully painted nails without compromising my spiritual obligations. Traditional nail polishes often conflicted with religious practices such as wudhu and ghusl, which require complete nail cleanliness. Additionally, harsh chemicals and difficult removal methods posed risks to sensitive skin and nail health. This unmet need inspired me to create Peela, a non-toxic, peelable nail polish that offers women like me the freedom to express themselves while honouring their faith and values.
It's more than just non-toxic peel-able nail polish; it's about peace of mind: knowing you can enjoy beauty without sacrificing your spiritual obligations and understanding the importance of efficiency when there’s multiple chores to do in daily life. Peela offers a swift and simple solution to all key workers in healthcare and childcare, who require quick, hygienic solutions; mothers and children looking for safe, fun products; people with sensitive skin or brittle nails seeking gentle alternatives; as well as models and beauty professionals needing fast, clean nail colour changes.
Beauty Without Compromise: My Vision for Peela
“With peela, I can finally wear nail polish and remove it easily whenever I need to” - Reviewed by 1,000,000 women - This is precisely my vision.
peela is a water-based nail polish that allows you to change your nail color as easily as you change your outfit. Imagine matching your nails to multiple outfits in a single day! Express yourself with a different color for every occasion, without the hassle of traditional removal. We want to provide a peel-off nail polish that is safe, convenient, and aligns with your values. No more harsh chemicals, no more tedious scrubbing. It's also cruelty-free nail polish, because I believe in beauty without compromise – for you, the environment, and your ever-changing style.
A Fear I Couldn't Ignore
For my Muslim sisters, I understand the importance of prayer and the need to perform ablution (Wudhu) and full body purification (Ghusl). peela offers a convenient solution that allows you to express your style while honoring your faith. A major fear of mine with regular nail polish was the thought of passing away with it on. Yes, regular nail polish can be removed with acetone. However, the body is so fragile at the time of death, it could be a great struggle and could cause harm to the body. The thought of being buried with even the slightest possibility of incomplete body purification (Ghusl) due to not being able to remove ALL of the polish is terrifying. With peela, you can confidently maintain your religious obligations, simply lift an edge, and effortlessly peel-it away! Wipe any residue off, then both ablution and full body purification can be done confidently and correctly!
(NOTE: I DO NOT advise nor agree with performing ablution with painted nails, ALWAYS remove).
DISCLAIMER: None of us truly know what happens at the time of death. Our understanding is based on religious teachings and interpretations, but ultimately knowledge belongs to God alone.
All individuals should always use their own discretion.
