Thanks, Sherry. I definitely use that number. I do know that nail polish usually contains dibutyl phtalate that gets into a woman's reproductive organs and when she becomes pregnant gets into the babies also causing defects.  I wonder if this is why so many woman have trouble conceiving...probably a combination of environmental chemicals and the chemicals ingested from processed and conventionally grown food.-Collette

Hi Collette,

As far as working it a Nail Salon, while pregnant.  I'm certainly glad I
didn't have to do it.  I would expect that it would effect an unborn
child, how I have no idea.  I have friends who might know.  From the
information I have, anything with formaldehyde in is a possible human
carcinogen.  Many cosmetics contain formaldehyde as a preservative.  The
information is from a Toxin Checklist that can be ordered from Healthy
Home Publishing toll-free 1-(877) 288-3344.  It's a informative list
that takes the ten most common cleaners and personal care products and
lists the long and short term hazards.
