Toxins Present In Sally Hansen Nail Polish
Parabens
Parabens are a group of ingredients that include methylparaben and propylparaben. They are often used in nail polishes and other cosmetic products in order to prevent bacteria and fungi from growing inside them. While this is a useful function, the risk of breast cancer far exceeds its benefit. However, companies like Sally Hansen still use them in their cosmetic products. Frequent exposure to parabens can also disrupt hormones in our bodies that manage fertility and the functioning of our reproductive organs.
It has been so widely used that studies have even detected traces of parabens in nearly all samples of bodily fluids that were taken from adults in the USA.
Triphenyl Phosphate
Triphenyl Phosphate is used as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose which is a substance used in nail polish to form the film on the nail plate once the solvent in the polish is dried.
Aside from causing irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, Triphenyl Phosphate can cause skin allergies resulting in rashes. Repeated exposure to the chemical may lead to damaged nerves as well as a damaged liver and kidneys. You may also experience poor coordination in the arms and legs. Despite this, it is still often used in nail polishes.
Benzophenone
Benzophenone is listed as a possible human carcinogenic. This means that it is one of the chemicals that may have cancer-causing properties. It is used in cosmetic products like Sally Hansen’s to protect the product from damage due to exposure to UV light.
It is also linked to endocrine disruption and toxicity in the organ systems. Women and infants are the most vulnerable to the health hazards of this chemical. Which is worse news when you consider the fact that a majority of women are exposed to the substance.
Sally Hansen Good. Kind. Pure. Vegan Nail Polish Shades
The line contains 30 shades which made it very difficult to decide which ones to buy.
The shades in the line are: Lava Rocks, Meteorite, Sun-Tastic, Crystal Blue, Laven-Dear, Soothing Slate, Grape Vine, Beet It, Cherry Amore, Pomegranate Punch, Sweet Berries, Peony Origins (on my wishlist!), Fruity Papaya, Coral Calm, Eco-Rose, Pink Sapphire, Golden Quartz, Pink Cardamom, Be-Gone-Ia, Pinky Clay, Pink Cloud, Rose Petal, Soft Plum, Elderflower Power, Raw Cocoa, Mother Earth, Almond Tan, Romantic Peach, Coconut Milk, and White Tea.
The shade selection is gorgeous, with lots of neutrals! Plus, they offer a clear Top Coat for extra glossiness and shine. I decided on a few pinky neutrals: Coconut Milk and Elderflower Power, plus the Top Coat.
I easily ordered from Target, and before I knew it I received my order a few days later.

To me, self-tanning products are to my beauty routine what creamer is to coffee. I don't necessarily need them, but after seeing the difference they make, I attempt to incorporate them into my routine more often. The keyword here is attempt because the mere thought of the self-tanning process (yes, it is a process), makes me forego all of my sun-kissed glow dreams and settle on covering up my skin discoloration with yoga pants. That is, until I discovered a solution to my uneven, easily-bruised legs: Sally Hansen's Airbrush Legs ($12). It's my secret weapon to—you guessed it—super airbrushed legs, and it actually makes it appear like I'm wearing pantyhose.
Not to be confused with a self-tanner (which is meant to last for a prolonged period of time), this leg spray (which, spoiler alert: can be used on more than just the legs—more on that later), comes off when you take a shower. As someone who's insanely picky when it comes to tanning products, this one's become a staple in my beauty routine. Keep scrolling for my full review.
