When it comes to natural skin care, we often forget about the other vulnerable parts of our bodies. Our nails are always in the line of fire as they come in contact with many contaminants daily. And we often expose ourselves to harmful chemicals in the nail products that we use. Thanks to non-toxic nail polish brands on the market, we no longer need to worry about harmful chemicals in our nail products. Here are some great non-toxic nail polish brands to use.

For more information on the chemicals found in your beauty products, I recommend visting the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) website EWG.org and using their skin deep database of over 70,000 products. You can learn more about what chemicals are in the products you use daily and read research on how they can potentially harm you and your family.
