Most types of nail polish are a toxic soup of chemicals. They
can contain several types of cancer-causing chemicals like toluene, formaldehyde, benzophenone, BHA and styrene.
Endocrine disrupting chemicals are also common in nail polish. They include dibutyl, dimethyl and diethyl phthalates and benzophenone.
