I wonder how healthy it is to put nail polish & particularly remover on our nails? I wouldn't be able to.
They both smell very strong & we do absorb things through our skin.
But maybe I'm more concerned about these types of things because I get affected by fumes of various sorts & with my daughter having MCS I'm aware of how severe reactions to chemicals, etc can be.

PS - my 'take' on it is that I'm exposed to a lot of stuff (even in air pollution) that I have no control over. I try to minimize the exposure that I have control over, hence unscented products, good old-fashioned home cleaning products such as vinegar & baking soda, or non-toxic ones that are now available in natural food stores & lots of grocery stores. Simmering cinnamon sticks in a pot of water if I want my home to 'smell nice' instead of using chemical plug-ins & 'sanitizers' etc.
Anyone else do this type of stuff?
