When looking for any beauty product, be sure to avoid these major toxins that are typically used by manufacturers. There are many companies who in fact make relatively safe nail polish free of toxic chemicals that can be absorbed into the body. Basically you can get nail polishes that are: 9-free, 7-free, and 5-free. All are safe options, and 7 and 9 free are for those people who are extra careful. Go for brands that are any of the following:
 
5-Free Nail Polishes
Free of: Formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, and camphor.
 
7-Free Nail Polishes
Free of: Formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, and xylene.
 
9-Free Nail Polishes
Free of: Formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, formaldehyde resin, camphor, xylene, ethyl tosylamide, parabens, and acetone.

Finding a good foundation and concealer is like finding a perfect pair of jeans; it needs to suit your taste, fit your skin well, and be comfortable to wear. Knowing about all the nasty chemicals and toxins found in makeup, and how preservatives and colorings like PEG and PPG, it makes sense to find products that have as little as these ingredients as possible.

Current regulations in North America are so poorly enforced that most cosmetic and makeup companies have no real motivation to drastically change their use of toxic and dangerous chemicals in their products. Generally speaking, these toxic and industrial chemicals include hormone disruptors, pesticides, carcinogens, reproductive toxins, and allergens. Not only are these ingredients dangerous for your skin and health, but they are also damaging for the environment. For now, though, here are the basic chemicals you want to avoid in cosmetics. A 2010 survey done (1) on products available in Canada revealed that 80% of surveyed products contained at least one of the many toxic chemicals we will talk about below.
