The way we take care of our nail bed should be given the same attention as we do for skin. It’s an absorptive zone, aiming to seek essential vitamins and minerals for us to flourish.
Artificial nails, such as acrylics, is just one example of a baneful relationship the beauty industry and its consumers can’t seem to break up with. Found in gasoline, Toluene is an ingredient that is also often used in nail polish and acrylic nail glue. According to a report published on the American Association of Neuropathologists, Toluene is a prime candidate for neurological damage, hearing loss, nausea, and generalized infections. Unfortunately, many parents unknowingly expose their children to this chemical in light of good fun and dress up.
Thankfully, there are promising leaders making cosmic strides in the nail industry, specifically the folks at a Canadian brand called Bio Seaweed Gel.
Free from dibutyl phthalate, camphor, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, and toluene, Bio Seaweed Gel’s enriched water-based formula is a safer option for customers and pregnant technicians. This is in light of a research paper suggesting an increased reproductive risk and birth abnormalities from the exposure of a conventional noxious salon environment.
All of Bio Seaweed Gel’s products are also cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.
