Have you ever stopped to wonder what is really in the stuff you put on your nails? The nail plate is very susceptible because it is thin. According to Wikipedia.com "The nail is often considered an impermeable barrier, but this is not true. In fact, it is much more permeable than the skin,[18] and the composition of the nail includes 7–12% water. This permeability has implications for penetration by harmful and medicinal substances; in particular cosmetics applied to the nails can pose a risk. Water can penetrate the nail as can many other substances."
So if water can penetrate the nail plate... then what do you think acetone is doing to your nail plate?

Do you suffer from weak nails? Brittle nails?
According to the Huffington Post, 'Acetone is essentially a paint stripper. “Super dry, damaged nails will get drier and more brittle with acetone exposure,” says board-certified dermatologist and nail specialist Dana Stern.'
Using a more hydrating removal process as our soy nail remover is much better for the nail system. Soy remover is an alternative to chemical laden cleaners. it is derived from soy bean oil. Dimethyl Adipate, is a non voc low toxic biodegradable specialty solvent and can be used as a paint remover.
With soy nail polish remover your nails will be hydrated and you'll be thankful you used a less harmful, less toxic removal system.
