Most nail brands are now [at least] three-free, meaning they’ve removed the worst of the chemicals – dibutyl phthalate or DBP, a plasticiser; formaldehyde, a known carcinogen; and toluene, a toxic ingredient found in solvents – from their formulas.
However, that can still leave some of the leading culprits of allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis hiding in the bottle; so while that manicure can look chic on the outside, it may not be so good for you on the inside.
