Take action today and join the movement to promote safer nail products! Encourage brands to prioritize consumer safety by implementing clear and informative labels on all packaging. These labels should include a warning or cautionary message, along with a scannable address to access more detailed information.
Imagine a world where every box of nail products comes with a label that educates users about the potential hazards associated with their ingredients. Such labels would clearly state that gels, dip liquids, acrylic, monomers, and adhesives contain hazardous chemicals that can lead to severe skin irritation, contact dermatitis, and even allergies if not used or cured correctly.
To support this cause, visit www.healthynailscollaborative.com and watch their free product safety video. By spreading awareness and advocating for transparent labeling, we can empower consumers to make informed choices about the products they use on their nails. Together, let's create a safer nail industry for everyone.
