IS NAIL POLISH HARMFUL?

Nail polishes are the most common beauty product that we use. I remember being obsessive about nail polishes when I was a little girl.

Using this colorful miracle so often, have you ever consider how healty it is? If we don't question the content of the items that we use, no one will for us. All nail polishes contain 3 main ingredients; Formaldahyde, toluene ve dibutyl phthalate. Tolune provides with the  smooth surface and unfortunately it causes liver, lung, heart diseases and memory lose. Formaldahyde makes the polish solid after applying and prevents chipping. It collapses immune system causing headache and dermal diseases. 

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is the content that make the polish liquid and it is plastic based. DBP is known as destroying hormones, it can pass to fetus from mother's blood and causes early adolescence on girls.

According to the Report of The Environmental Working Group (EWG), 37 nail products including nail protectors, bases and top coats on the market contain this toxic. 

Let's think about nail polish once again. We apply it and then use our hands to cook, to apply our daily care, we touch our eyes, face. We even shouldn't get close to babies when wearing it. And pregnant women have to avoid it. I guess I am going to prefer my natural nail color instead of using a colorful toxic, because beauty has no importance if there is no health.
