Safer Personal Care - What Lurks in Nail Polish

Everybody knows there are dangerous-sounding chemicals in nail polish, but many of us think our limited contact with wet polish is too minimal to cause much risk. After all, we’re not putting it on our skin or drinking it. But, a study led by Duke University suggests that we absorb at least one potentially hormone-disrupting chemical every time we get a polish. While the impact of this chemical on our health is still unclear, the fact that our body can absorb chemicals through nail polish is cause for concern. There are safe choices out there and you can find them at Whole Foods Markets or your local health food stores. Brands we like include Zoya, Smith+Cult and Deborah Lippman. A few of these are available on Amazon.com and on our Wellness Warrior Checklist here: http://bit.ly/GuudChecklist
