Nail Polish Biting is a definite NO! Especially when you hear of the many chemicals that are used in most nail polishes.

1- Formaldehyde

2- Butyl Acetate

3- Ethyl Acetate

5- Dibutyl Phthalate

Hard to even pronounce half of these! The names of these dangerous chemical look scary enough to me never mind the effects they can have on the human body!

This is known to be a carcinogenic (cancer causing) solvent. The fumes of formaldehyde cause irritation to eyes, nose and throat.

2- Butyl Acetate

This dangerous chemical is a toxin used as also used as a solvent in nail polish and it causes irritation to lungs, eyes and skin.

3- Ethyl Acetate

Prolonged exposure to this chemical can cause serious damage to your heart, lungs, liver and kidney. This solvent can also pass through the skin. This chemical is what evaporates of your nail to help the nail polish set and harden. Not a nice thought to be thinking this is what your breathing in while waiting for your freshly polished nails to dry!

4- Toluene

This dangerous chemical is another solvent used in nail poilish. It is fatal if swallowed and is also known to cause birth defects in animals and also is know to affect the central nervous system.

5- Dibutyl phthalate

This chemical was deemed so hasardous to human health that all european countries have banned them from any nail polish sold with their countries. However it's still allowed to be used in the U.S. They are know to cause early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men and sexual deformations and also effect feotal development growth! It is the chemical that make our nail polish chip resistant.

6- Phthalic Anhydride

This chemical can cause organ damage cancer and membrane irritation. It is also known to be toxic to the respiratory and immune system. Phthalic Anhydride is sometime replaced with this chemical Dibutyl phthalate mentioned above. But as you can see there almost both as dangerous as one another!
