I like to peruse among all kinds of sources when it comes to information on harmful ingredients in everyday beauty products we use. Most recently I came across some information about staying away from 3 main ingredients in nail polish:
1.Formaldehyde
2.Dibutyl Phthalate
3.Toluene
These particular chemicals are known to affect the nervous system, shake up hormones and a culprit of dermatitis aka itchy skin! That is enough to make me want to stay away! So what is a girl to do when she wants to paint her nails???? Turn to some brands that don't include those ingredients but more safer alternatives. 2 I have come across are Zoya which retails for about 8 bucks and Deborah Lippmann which retails for about $16. If you rather not do the work yourself or your nail salon doesn't carry these brands simply take your own color along. Amen to Alternatives!
Happy Polishing!
