Natural nail bars use natural ingredients in their products to maintain healthy nails. These ingredients are gentler on the skin and mildly exfoliating without any scratching or abrasive action. Some of the most common natural ingredients used in nail care products include avocado, almond, jojoba, coconut, lavender, and tea tree oil.
On the other hand, traditional nail products used in salons may contain chemicals that can affect worker health. For example, some nail polishes contain toluene, which is suspected of damaging fertility. Formaldehyde, which can be found in nail strengtheners, may cause cancer and is suspected of causing genetic defects. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), used to stop nail polish cracking, is banned in Europe and is dangerous for pregnant women.
Acrylic nails, which are nail extensions held on by a mixture of monomer and powder that combine and solidify on top of the nail, are a porous product that can enable you to soak extensions off using 100% acetone. However, some nail techs may not care about preserving the natural nail underneath the enhancement product.
