Gloss NailSpa offers nail trimming, cuticle care, sugar scrub, lotion, warm towel, and polish application. Gloss Nail Studio is a non-toxic nail studio that uses quality products and services that are safe for both clients and staff. Many nail products contain potentially harmful ingredients, but are allowed on the market because they are safe when used as directed. Some nail ingredients are harmful when swallowed, but not when used on the nails, because the nail is a barrier, which prevents absorption. The labels of all cosmetics, whether marketed to consumers or salons, must include a warning statement whenever necessary or appropriate to prevent a health hazard that may occur with use of the product.
Here is information about some nail product ingredients that people often ask about, or that raise special safety concerns:
- Acetonitrile in Artificial Nail Removers
- Toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR) in some nail polishes
- Acrylic polymers in artificial nails
Some non-toxic nail polish brands include:
- Zoya, which is 10-free and marketed as having a non-toxic formula
- Poofy Organics Nail Polish, which scored a 2 in the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetic database
- Karma Kid’s Nail Polish, which is free of several harsh chemicals
