WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY 10 HOURS AFTER YOU APPLY NAIL POLISH

We all want to look after our health in terms of exercise, and what we eat, but how often do you consider that your cosmetics may be damaging your health?

Applying nail varnish is part of most women’s beauty regime, but recent research has shown that your nail polish could actually be harming your health.

TOXIC NAIL POLISH

The study conducted was on 24 women to find out what chemical toxins were present in their bodies.  Evidence of toxins were found in every participant, the source of these chemicals? It was their nail polish. The participants were tested just 10 hours after applying nail varnish and triphenyl phosphate was found to be present in every single participant.

The chemical toxin was absorbed into the body just from the application of varnish onto the nails.

The same researchers followed up this study by testing 10 different nail polishes for triphenyl phosphate, and the chemical was discovered in 8 out of the 10. Worse still, 2 out of the 8 that tested positive had not disclosed this particular ingredient on the bottle, meaning that up to 20% of nail polishes sold in our country may possibly contain dangerous chemicals that aren’t listed on the bottle as an ingredient.
