This is so true, but it goes beyond nail polish as there are toxic ingredients in most US personal care products. In fact, most people are not aware that there are over 10,500 chemicals in cosmetic products and only 11% have been tested over the last 30 years. The industry is also self-regulated. Most people are unaware of that fact, and as a result, can say anything they want on their products. No one questions them. The only real way to get truly organic &/or natural personal care products is to look for certification logos on the containers and the packaging. Some US companies are truthful, but most just use the words natural and organic as a marketing ploy. Bottom line is to do your homework. Meanwhile, again good job on your discovery of formaldehyde in nail polish. Lead is also still used in some brands. .-= AJ Spicoli´s last blog ..<a href="http://organicskincareanswers.com/cosmetic-regulation-fda-cir-fdca-state-legislation/" rel="nofollow">Cosmetic Regulation-FDA-CIR-FDCA-State Legislation</a> =-.

I have always wanted to go as organic as possible, but like you said, it can be very expensive. Great tip on where to purchase nail polish! I think a lot of my decision to go organic is because I am also starting to go green (something I am starting to get very passionate about) It is great to see the beauty industry is starting to do both. I am a student at The Vision Academy and we are going green! Maybe I can suggest this polish to use there :) Great blog!
