Did you know that your nail polish has an endocrine-disrupting chemical called triphenyl phosphate or TPHP for short? This chemical is added to give greater flexibility to the nail polish. What happens to TPHP? It ends up in your bloodstream and body tissues 10 to 14 hours after getting your nails polished. This chemical is linked to obesity, weight gain and is associated with reproductive and developmental issues.
Cosmetics and their ingredients are not regulated by the FDA for approval before market nor do they have to undergo safety testing. Several manufacturers, Sally Hansen, Wet n Wild and OPI all contain TPHP.If you are outraged and moved to do something then sign the petition below from Environmental Working Group.
Don't let nail polish affect your daughter's future fertility. Push for industry change. Remove TPHP from nail polish.
