Women working in nail salons are three times more likely to have children with congenital heart defects, linked to over 100 chemicals in polish including dibutyl phthalate and formaldehyde. Nails absorb these toxins into the bloodstream, and inhalation happens every time you apply polish.
Chapters
A study just came out saying that women that work in nail salons are 3 times more likely to give birth to children who have congenital heart defects. Why? Because there's over 100 chemicals found in nail polish. These nail polishes contain toxic chemicals like dibutyl phthalate and formaldehyde that are known to be toxic to the human body, causing thyroid, infertility, and hormone problems. Your nails are just like your skin. They're an entrance to the body, and scientists have confirmed that they can absorb substances and deposit them into your bloodstream. Not only that, but you're also breathing small amounts of these toxins every single time you apply the nail polish as they become airborne. So ladies, before you paint your nails, ask yourself if you want these toxic chemicals inside your body. Share this with a friend so they also stop poisoning themselves, and also consider supporting your liver to detox some of these chemicals out of your body.
