What Happens to Your Body 10 Hours After You Apply Nail Polish

TPHP poses serious health risks to anyone exposed to it since it is an endocrine and reproductive toxin, neurotoxin, allergen, and a skin irritant.

Companies add this chemical to their products to make them less flammable, and in nail polish, it is added with the aim to make it stick more strongly to the nail.

Moreover, nail polish contains other harmful chemicals as well, such as:

Formaldehyde– a known carcinogen that dissolves in air and water, and can cause asthma, a scratchy throat, and difficulty breathing.

Dibutyl Phthalate— it poses severe health risks such as hormonal disruption and reproductive system issues

Toluene– it impedes the development in children and irritates the skin

Fortunately, some companies are aware of these side-effects of nail polishes and decided to turn to safer, natural alternatives. Here are some of them:

Acquarella– their selection offers 50+ nail polish colors, all of them water-based, and free of formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, mercury, or wheat products.

Peacekeeper Cause-Metics — these bright nail polishes are free of toxins and infused with argan oil, that moisturizes the nails

SpaRitual– their nail polishes are completely vegan and toxin-free

Honeybee Gardens – their nail polishes are water-based, and contain no chemicals or carcinogens, and come in various colors.

It would be easy for all mani-pedi lovers to switch to these health-conscious options and express your style in a fun, inexpensive, and safe way!
