Milton Nails and Spa is a salon that offers a range of services including facial skin care, massage therapy, body treatments, and nail care. However, it is important to use nail products safely, as they may contain chemicals that can affect worker health. The FDA regulates cosmetic products used in nail salons, including nail polishes and nail polish removers, to ensure they are safe when used as intended. Here is some information about nail product ingredients that people often ask about, or that raise special safety concerns:

• Acetonitrile in Artificial Nail Removers: Acetonitrile is a solvent used in some artificial nail removers. It can cause skin irritation, headaches, dizziness, and nausea. It is important to use these products in a well-ventilated area and to avoid inhaling the fumes.

• Toluene Sulfonamide/Formaldehyde Resin (TSFR): TSFR is used in some nail polishes to make the coating tough and resilient. It can cause allergic reactions in some people.

• Methacrylate Monomers: Methacrylate monomers are used in artificial nails. They can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and respiratory problems. It is important to use these products in a well-ventilated area and to avoid inhaling the fumes.

• Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is used in some nail hardeners and nail polishes. It can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and respiratory problems. It is important to use these products in a well-ventilated area and to avoid inhaling the fumes.

It is important to use nail products safely, following labeled directions and paying attention to any warning statements. Some nail products can catch fire easily, so they should not be exposed to flames or heat sources. Some can injure your eyes, so you should avoid this exposure. Some should only be used in areas with good air circulation (ventilation). Some ingredients can be harmful if swallowed, so these products should never be consumed by any person or pet.
