Lexi Nail Spa is a nail salon located in Shelby Twp, MI. However, it is unclear from the search results what specific products or services they offer. In terms of nail products in general, it is important to note that many mainstream brands contain toxic ingredients. Nail polish manufacturers are not required to list their ingredients anywhere on their products or marketing materials, which means that consumers may not know what they are putting on their bodies during a manicure or pedicure. Some of the toxic ingredients that may be found in nail polish include:
Positive:
- Some non-toxic nail polish brands are available that list their ingredients or are described as "10-free+".
Negative:
- Parabens, hydroquinone monomethyl ether (MEHQ/HQ), and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) / methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) are some of the toxic ingredients that may be found in nail polish.
- Ethyl methacrylate (EMA), formaldehyde, and toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR) are some of the toxic ingredients that may be found in nail products.
Ingredients or materials:
- Nail products may 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.
- Artificial nails are composed primarily of acrylic polymers, such as ethyl methacrylate monomer, with acrylic polymers, such as polymethylmethacrylate.
