Some ingredients in nail polish may be toxic both for pregnant women and children. When you’re looking for a safe product for anyone, find out more about some of the most popular non-toxic nail polish brands.
“The Big 3” are three potentially harmful ingredients in nail polish: formaldehyde, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) and toluene. Along with them, less dangerous chemicals some manufacturers have also excluded from nail polish are formaldehyde resin and camphor, thus creating the term “5-free”, used to refer to non-toxic nail polish brands. Find out what some of them are, if order to avoid any risks during pregnancy and only purchase non-toxic nail polish for kids.
