Water-based cosmetic products typically contain preservatives to prevent microbial contamination, when they are sold in multi-use packages. Solvent based nail polish products ( e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/nailknowledge.org\/es\/blog\/la-vida-util-del-esmalte-de-unas-de-que-se-trata\/\">esmalte de u\u00f1as<\/a>, lacquers, enamels, varnish, base coat, top coats) provide a hostile environment for pathogens and prevent microbial contamination even when the bottle and the brush are used repeatedly (double dipped) and therefore additional preservatives are not needed or added. Professionals use nail polish products are essentially water-free, solvent based mixtures of colourants, film formers and other additives. Some have questioned the use of nail polish products in salons over concerns of a possible increased risk for transmitting microbes when a polish brush is reused on multiple clients.<\/p>\n<p>Varios estudios cient\u00edficos independientes, realizados por el Consejo de fabricantes de u\u00f1as sobre seguridad (NMC) de la asociaci\u00f3n profesional de belleza, demuestran que los productos de esmaltado de u\u00f1as a base de disolventes eliminan agresivamente cualquier microbio que pueda ser recogido inadvertidamente por un pincel de esmaltado de u\u00f1as, por lo que el uso repetido de productos de esmaltado de u\u00f1as NO supone un riesgo de infecci\u00f3n para los clientes del sal\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>In the first study, unopened nail polish products were intentionally mixed with high concentrations of seven common microorganisms associated with nail or skin infections, followed by laboratory testing to determine if any of these microbes could survive or reproduce. The products tested contained the volatile organic solvent used almost universally by all manufacturers (e.g. ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, etc.) which are typically make up 60-70% of nail polish formulation. These nail polish products were individually inoculated with a high concentration of live microorganisms, then tested immediately and periodically for fourteen (14) days to ensure there was no regrowth of microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p>Resultados: en todos los esmaltes de u\u00f1as probados, los microbios introducidos se destruyeron r\u00e1pidamente y no volvieron a crecer, ni siquiera despu\u00e9s de catorce (14) d\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: Professional-use nail polish products which do not contain water as an ingredient and are mostly made of organic solvents can rapidly destroy microbes: which explains why these products don&#8217;t require traditional cosmetic preservatives. These results dominate that microbes cannot live in water-free nail polish products and any microbes accidentally introduced would be rapidly destroyed. These results also demonstrate that a properly used, professional-use nail polish product may be safely applied to multiple salon clients because the organic solvents are an effective deterrent against microbial contamination.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more details about these studies you can find them in the nail manufacturers council on safety\u2019s education brochure.
