The ingredients in nail products can vary, but some common ingredients in nail polish include:
- Nitrocellulose: a film-forming polymer that is the main ingredient in most nail polishes
- Butyl acetate, ethyl acetate: solvents commonly used in nail polish
- Plasticizers: added to yield non-brittle films, such as dibutylphthalate and camphor
- Dyes and pigments: used to give color to the nail polish, including compounds like chromium oxide greens, iron oxide, and carmine
- Opalescent pigments: used to create a glittery/shimmer look, such as mica and bismuth oxychloride
These are just a few examples of the ingredients found in nail products. It's important to be aware of the ingredients in the products you use, especially if you have any sensitivities or allergies.
