Ingredients to Avoid:

Some nail products contain resins that form a strong coating on the nails, rather than hardening the nails themselves. For example, toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR) 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.
