Episode 11 — Dirty Thirty Chemicals: The Nail Polish NeurotoxinWelcome to the Dirty Thirty at KeysPure.com. I'm Bob Root. Episode Eleven is about Ethyl Acetate — a solvent found in nail polish, mascara, tooth whitening products, and perfume.So basically if you've done your nails, curled your lashes, whitened your teeth, and spritzed on some scent — congratulations, you may have had the full Ethyl Acetate experience.The health concerns are legitimately serious. It's a probable neurotoxin and a possible nervous system toxin. It's a possible carcinogen. It's an irritant. And it is highly flammable. The flammable part is worth remembering the next time you're painting your nails near a candle, which we hope is never.Ethyl Acetate vapors build up quickly in enclosed spaces, and regular exposure adds up over time. Beauty routines are daily habits — so even small exposures become large cumulative exposures.At Keys, we believe every product you reach for daily should be held to the highest safety standard. Visit KeysPure.com to find out what that looks like in practice.Dirty Thirty Episode Eleven — the solvent with a long rap sheet.
