New Wave Nail Supply is a company that offers nail products, but there is no information available on the specific ingredients or materials used in their products. However, there are several sources that provide information on nail products and their ingredients in general.
The EWG Skin Deep Cosmetic database rates nail polish brands based on the safety of their ingredients. Some of the best non-toxic nail polish brands include:
- Good. Kind. Pure. by Sally Hansen: This brand is 10-free, meaning it is free of 10 of the most harmful leading polish ingredients.
- Zoya: This brand is 10-free and has a formula designed to nourish and improve the condition of nails.
- Karma Organic Natural Nail Polish: This brand is 10-free, non-yellowing, long-lasting, and easy to remove. It is also made without the leading harsh chemicals and is vegan and cruelty-free.
However, it is important to note that not all nail products are created equal. Some nail products contain potentially harmful ingredients, such as toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR), which is used in some nail polishes to make the coating tough and resilient. TSFR also helps the polish adhere to the nail, adds gloss, and helps the product flow well when applied. There is evidence that some people may become allergic to TSFR.
Artificial nails are composed primarily of acrylic polymers, such as ethyl methacrylate monomer, with acrylic polymers, such as polymethylmethacrylate. When the reaction is completed, traces of the monomer are likely to remain in the polymer. For example, traces of methacrylate monomers remain after artificial nails are formed.
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used in a wide variety of products, including nail polishes, primarily at concentrations of less than 10% as plasticizers, to reduce cracking by making the nails less brittle. Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) has been used most commonly in nail polishes and some other products, such as nail hardeners, while dimethyl phthalate (DMP) and diethyl phthalate (DEP) are used occasionally.
In conclusion, while there is no information available on the specific ingredients or materials used in New Wave Nail Supply products, it is important to be aware of the potential harmful ingredients that can be found in some nail products. It is recommended to choose non-toxic nail polish brands and to use nail products safely, following labeled directions and paying attention to any warning statements.
