The Hidden Truth About Nail Polish: What Salons Don’t Tell You

Introduction:
A fresh manicure can make you feel polished and put-together, but there’s more to nail polish than glossy color. What most nail salons don’t mention is that the products and techniques used during your manicure can affect your health and the long-term condition of your nails. Before you swipe on that next coat of color, here’s what you should know.

Ingredients:
While this isn’t a recipe, here’s a list of common nail polish ingredients to watch out for:

Toluene – A solvent that helps polish go on smoothly but may affect the nervous system with prolonged exposure.

Formaldehyde – Used as a hardener; it’s a known carcinogen.

Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – Increases flexibility but is linked to hormonal disruption.

Camphor – Gives nails a glossy appearance but can cause dizziness when inhaled in large amounts.

Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP) – A plasticizer that can affect hormonal regulation.
