The New York State Department of Health reviewed the types of chemical ingredients found in nail salon products and found that nail polishes can share some common constituents, such as acetates, phthalates, and methacrylates. However, the list of ingredients can vary between products and can potentially be influenced by individual product characteristics such as polish color, texture, drying time, or other product features.
-
Scientific American reports that nail polish may contain chemicals that can pose a risk to nail salon workers, including dibutyl phthalate, toluene, formaldehyde, and formaldehyde resin. However, it is difficult to know how these chemicals affect the body because current evaluations do not look at these substances comprehensively.
It is important to note that products used in nail salons may contain chemicals that can affect worker health, and using these products can expose nail salon workers to chemicals.
