The Element Nail Spa is a nail product, but there is no specific information available about its ingredients or materials. However, it is important to note that many nail products contain potentially harmful ingredients. Some common nail product ingredients that people often ask about, or that raise special safety concerns include:
- Acetonitrile in Artificial Nail Removers
- Toluene sulfonamide/formaldehyde resin (TSFR) in some nail polishes
- Acrylic polymers in artificial nails
Other nail products contain resins that form a strong coating on the nails, rather than hardening the nails themselves. There is evidence that some people may become allergic to these ingredients. Additionally, nail products may contain chemicals that can affect worker health, and using these products can expose nail salon workers to chemicals. It is important to use nail products safely, following labeled directions and paying attention to any warning statements.
