This is a very important subject to be discussed, because it’s directly related to our health.
There have been a few scientific researches done on the toxicity of convenient nail polishes, and the results are unpromising.
It is being named as one of the worst toxic beauty products. Acetone, formaldehyde, phthalates, benzophenone, and toluene are some of the dangerous chemicals being used for producing nail polish. Formaldehyde and toulene are two well-known human carcinogens.
Both fuming and applying nail polish damage our nervous, respiratory, and endocrine systems, and may stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Some of the toxic chemicals are even not being labeled as ingredients by manufacturers.
Luckily, in recent years the beauty market started to change in a good way. We have a better choice now, called a “non-toxic”, “vegan”, “natural” alternative.
At present moment there is a great variety of brands and colours of natural nail polish as online, as in health shops.
There is one moment I personally would like to point out. On one side, it doesn’t stay long, however, on the other side, is easy to remove.
By the way, you can get an alternative non-toxic remover as well.
I will come back on this subject later, and we can explore the nail polish brands, and places where to buy them.
