There's a whole side to nail polish that most of us aren't aware of, and it's an extremely dark one.
Most nail polish brands have toxic chemicals in them with massive side effects when used over time. One such ingredient is formaldehyde - you know, the chemical they use to preserve dead bodies. It is used in several lacquers because it has a hardening effect and continual exposure can lead to poisoning, thyroid dysfunction, breathing problems and asthma.
Luckily, the world is becoming more aware of the dangerous toxins present in most nail lacquer brands and are correcting the problem. Organic and and non-toxic nail polish brands have been coming out to deter the secret dangers of popular lacquer. Here we list 5 no-fume brands that you can find here in the Philippines.
