It is all about me

Consider the downside to the fumes you will be breathing in during the entire treatment and the plastic coating seeping into your body through your nail bed.

Here are a few facts about these common toxic nail polish ingredients:  

Toluene
Toluene is a human reproductive and developmental toxin. It may affect the nervous system with symptoms like tiredness, confusion, weakness, drunken-type actions, and memory loss. It is thought to cause liver damage and skin irritation. In high levels it may affect the kidneys. Toluene has been linked to birth defects in laboratory animals. 

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a carcinogen and a common indoor air pollutant because its resins are used in many construction materials. Formaldehyde has caused cancer in the nose and throats of lab animals. Inhaling the fumes can result in watery eyes, headache, burning in the throat, and labored breathing. 

Dibutyl Phthalate
Phthalates are used to soften plastic, and are known to affect hormone function. Studies have linked phthalates to early puberty in girls and low sperm counts in men. Environmental groups claim phthalate exposure may contribute to the rising number of uterine problems in women and testicular cancer in men. It could also be one of the contributing factors to a rise in infertility in both sexes. Repeated and heavy exposure to dibutyl phthalate may cause nausea and/or vomiting, tearing of the eyes, dizziness, and headache. Long-term exposures may cause damage to kidneys and the liver. Pregnant women must consider that dibutyl phthalate may harm the developing fetus and the male testes.


Does this mean you should stop polishing your nails? Not necessarily. Many big name manufacturers have mobilized to remove DBP, formaldehyde, and toluene from their nail polish formulations and several new companies have emerged to pave the way for natural nail polish. Of course, a careful inspection of the list of ingredients would be prudent before purchasing any nail product.

Väldigt mycket text, men värt att läsa det om man använder mycket nagellack =/

Som sagt, titta på ingredienserna innan du köper nagellacket. Man ska även tänka på att när man använder nagellack så ska man vara i ett rum med bra ventilation.
