A dangerous chemical allowed in the US to be in nail polish is dibutyl phthalate (DBP), the substance that makes fingernail polish dry to a smooth varnish.

None, Revlon was the first nail polish maker to get rid of formaldehyde in 1989. Other potentially harmful substances like toluene and DBP were taken out in 1992.
Is nail polish safe for infants?
Conventional nail polish (nitrocellulose - petrochemical solvent based) still contains or has contained many chemicals that are known or suspect carcinogens (Toluene, Formaldehyde, DBP). There are newer products on the market with those removed or that are water based (safer). To find out if the brand you are wearing or interested in is safe, check our the non-profit Cosmetics Database to see how it rates:http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/If you choose to wear conventional polishes, it is not recommended to put nail polish any where other than your nails.
Why is nail polish bad for the environment?
well not to much the environment but yourself the chemical solvents and plasticizers used in many conventional nail polishes may be absorbed thru the porous surface of the nail and/or inhaled as fumes. Once absorbed, they go directly into the bloodstream and are not processed through the body's detoxifying organ - the liver. Synthetic colours used in polishes may also impact your health. http://www.pureknowhow.com/content/effectsnailpolish.php

Is sinful colors one of the best celling nail polish of America?
It is, but it shouldn't be. It sells as well as it does because it's only a couple of dollars a bottle, so you can afford to buy a bottle of it for a special occasion and throw it in the back of the nail polish shelf after you use it. You're not going to do that with OPI at $8.50 per bottle. There are two problems with it: it's not very good, for one. You've got to put many coats of it on your nails to get it to work. And it doesn't seem to hold up as well as more expensive polishes, but for two bucks what do you expect? The real problem is what's in it: collodion and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). ALL nail polish, no matter where it's from, contains nitrocellulose, which is the plastic that stays on your nails after the solvents dry. You can buy it two ways: as a powder which you dissolve in ethyl acetate, or already dissolved in ethyl acetate and ether, which is called collodion. Collodion is a health hazard because of the ether. Cheap polishes like Sinful Colors use collodion because it reduces the cost of manufacturing the product--you don't have to wait for the nitrocellulose to dissolve before adding the rest of the ingredients. The other is dibutyl phthalate, which is suspected of being both an endocrine system disruptor (screws up your hormone system) and a teratogen (causes birth defects). No one else puts DBP in their nail polish, and for this reason alone I wouldn't recommend it. Sally Beauty stores carry "Finger Paints" brand, which is also an inexpensive polish but it's DBP-free and contains nitrocellulose rather than collodion. I would get that. I tried a bottle and it works okay.
Is Revlon Inc eco-friendly?
Yes, their nail polishes are made without DBP, toluene or formaldehyde. Also their factory is located in the United States so it must comply with US environmental regulation.

Why does estrogne increase DBP levels?
Higher estrogen levels increase the DBP levels. However, this does not change the biological active free fraction. The results have not been uniform in all objects of study.
