Cali Nails is not a specific product, but rather a general term for nail products that are used in California. Here is some information on nail product ingredients and their health effects, as well as some non-toxic nail polish brands and chemicals of concern in salon products:
Ingredients in Nail Products:
- Many nail products contain chemicals that can be harmful to human health, such as formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) .
- The EWG Skin Deep Cosmetic database rates nail polish brands based on their toxicity levels. Some non-toxic nail polish brands include Zoya, Butter London, and Mineral Fusion.
- California has banned 26 potentially toxic chemicals found in many cosmetic products, including nail polish.
Chemicals of Concern in Salon Products:
- Salon workers are exposed to chemical ingredients in the products they use every day, which can affect their health.
- Some chemicals of concern in salon products include cocamide DEA, DBP, and borate compounds.
- Manufacturers have been legally allowed to keep these chemical ingredients a secret from their customers, denying salon workers a full understanding of their exposures.
It is important to be aware of the ingredients in nail products and to choose non-toxic options whenever possible. Additionally, salon workers should be informed about the chemicals they are exposed to and take steps to protect their health.
