Makeover of Nail Polish
Safer Coatings: Your nail polish's formula
may be changing... but not as in going on streak-free, drying in seconds, and looking flawless no matter what you get your hands into. Companies such as Avon, Procter & Gamble (whose cosmetics brands include Cover Girl and Max Factor), and Estee Lauder have introduced nail enamels made without dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a chemical that is sometimes added to polishes to help them resist chipping.The reason:
The European Union has banned DBP and a similar substance - which belongs to a family of industrial chemicals called phthalates (THAH-layts) - based on studies showing they may cause birth defects in female rodents. But before you cancel that manicure appointment, read on. For one thing, DBP in nail polish has never been shown to harm humans (though recent Swedish research suggests a link
between allergy symptoms in children and two phthalates found in vinyl floors, synthetic leather, and other products). And, what holds true for lab rats doesn't necessarily translate to people.Still, many advocacy groups insist DBP should be removed from cosmetics until its safety is proved completely. And manufacturers are responding. Avon, for example, recently unveiled a phthalate-free nail enamel and CoverGirl, Max Factor, Estee Lauder are other American brands that have followed suit.
