THE WIFE Guide: Non Toxic Beauty Products

THE WIFE Guide: Non Toxic Nail Polish

THE WIFE Guide: Non Toxic Nail Polish

Every WIFE enjoys the shiny coat of nail polish that comes with a pampering manicure. Small problem being that some nail lacquers are made up of toxic chemicals that can be incredibly unhealthy to your body. For THE WIFE who wants to avoid toxic nail polish, start by choosing companies that are water based instead of chemical based or a polish that uses overall natural ingredients.

Next you’ll want to shop brands that pride themselves on being “3 Free” or “5 Free.” 3 Free or otherwise known as “The Toxic Trio,” are the three main toxic ingredients in many nail polishes you’ll want to stay away from: Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, and Formaldehyde. The healthier step up is “5 Free” which are polishes made without: Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin and Camphor. 

All of these awful chemicals can cause a plethora of problems from skin irritation and reproductive side effects to allergic reactions and nervous system side effects. Click “continue reading” to learn about the toxic ingredients that make up nail polishes and read THE WIFE’s Guide to non toxic nail polishes to find out which brands are wroth switching to. -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE
