Basically, there are two different kinds of nail polish removers: acetone and non-acetone. Most brands carry both types--it's usually stated right on the front label. Both types contain a solvent like acetone that works by dissolving the hard film that's left on your nails by the ingredients in the polish.
Nail polishes contain ingredients like resins, plasticizers, film formers and color pigments. All these ingredients work to give you a nice even coat of polish that dries quickly and evenly. The problem is, these ingredients aren't so easy to remove. Acetone Polish Removers Acetone is a very powerful solvent and it works the best at removing polish. But it's also very harsh because it removes a lot of natural oils from your skin.
In fact, sometimes your skin will look really white if you've used too much acetone on it. That means you've dried your skin out. Cons: Harsh and very drying to nails, cuticles and skin. Women with nails that are dry or splitting should avoid using.
Toluene was reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel in , when the Panel determined that it was safe for cosmetic use in nail products when limited to concentrations no greater than 50 percent. The Panel re-evaluated the safety of toluene in and confirmed its original conclusion.
The CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that dibutyl phthalate is safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products. In and , as part of the scheduled re-evaluation of ingredients, the CIR Expert Panel considered available new data on this ingredient and reaffirmed the previous conclusion.

It is also a common ingredient in varnishes and glues. More than half of the workers complained of headache, eye irritation, nausea, sore throat, and weakness. A few workers had heartburn, insomnia, and intestinal pain. Isopropyl acetone may also lead to organ toxicity, particularly of the kidneys.
In two studies conducted on rats, those exposed to isopropyl acetone developed non-cancerous lesions on their kidneys, This effect was more severe and pronounced in male rats, though female rats also had increased incidence of mild kidney disease. In addition, isopropyl acetone is potentially neurotoxic due to the presence of methyl n-butyl ketone a known neurotoxin as an impurity. A study of 41 factory workers exposed to MEK noted that workers experienced headaches, memory difficulties, and irritability.
Workers also reported eye irritation, respiratory tract irritation, and muscular and joint pains. A study of exposed shoe factory workers also found neurological symptoms; workers suffered from headaches, chest pains, sleep disorders, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Data gaps remain regarding the extent of exposure in both studies. A study of aircraft workers exposed to MEK and other solvents found that women with higher exposures of MEK had elevated risks for multiple myeloma, although the results were not statistically significant.
Furthermore, workers were exposed to multiple solvents, which make efforts to solely attribute increased mortality to MEK difficult. Pregnant rats exposed to MEK showed decreased weight gain and skeletal malformations were found in their offspring. These studies support the connection between MEK and developmental toxicity. Pregnant rats exposed to NMP have increased incidence of maternal toxicity, including symptoms such as fewer live fetuses per rat and decreased weight gain and food consumption.
Furthermore, the offspring of the NMP-exposed rats were more likely to develop internal and external malformations and have lower birth weights.
