This Is How To Forgive Yourself

However, like other beauty products, most nail polish is made using chemicals that are not necessarily safe for your little one.

Safety Facts of Using Nail Polish in Children

Nail polish contains chemicals that are actually safe to apply to nails, including children's nails. However, nail polish fragments can be swallowed when the child puts his finger in his mouth. This can endanger his health.

To date, there has been no research that specifically addresses the dangers of using nail polish in children. However, judging from the basic ingredients, the chemical content in the nail polish can cause bad effects if it enters the body.

The following are the 4 main chemicals that are commonly found in nail polish:

1. Toluena

Toluene is a chemical compound commonly found in fragrance products, cleaning solutions, paint thinners, and other household products. Excessive exposure to this substance has been shown to damage the function of the liver, kidneys, nervous system and respiratory system.

2. Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP)

This chemical, which is commonly used as a plastic base material, is known to disrupt the endocrine system, which plays a major role in children's development.

In addition, exposure to TPHP in a relatively long time (≥3 months) is also thought to cause sugar levels and cholesterol levels to increase. It will also increase the child's risk of developing various chronic diseases, including diabetes.

3. Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is an active compound that functions as a preservative and hardener for nail polish. If inhaled for a long time, these compounds can cause respiratory problems and increase the risk of developing cancer.

4. Phthalates

Besides the basic ingredients above, nail polish also generally contains phthalates. These chemicals can cause endocrine disruption and inhibit the production of androgen hormones. Several studies have also shown that this substance can increase the risk of allergies and interfere with children's growth.

In addition, the use of acetone or nail polish remover is known to cause poisoning of children if large amounts are accidentally ingested. Symptoms that arise from acetone poisoning include lethargy, vomiting, slurred speech, ataxia, respiratory problems, and even loss of consciousness.

Tips for Using Nail Polish

Because of the many dangers that lurk, using nail polish on children should be avoided, yes, Bun. However, if you really want or maybe need to put nail polish on your little one, there are a few things you need to pay attention to:
