"Back in 2001, when my then seven-year old little girl
first
showed interest in nail polish, I took a long, hard look at
the
ingredients in conventional nail polish, and was horrified
to find
toxic chemicals such as toluene, formaldehyde releasing
ingredients,
acetates, phthalate, alcohol etc. As a chemist, I knew how
much
potential damage these toxic chemicals could do to my
innocent
little girl.
So I went out to retail stores, searching for a
water-based,
nontoxic nail polish for my daughter. Much to my surprise
however, I
failed to find anything at all. There was virtually no
water-based
nail polish on the market.
I had no choice but to develop a water-based nail polish
myself.
At that point, I began dreaming of introducing a line of
non-toxic,
environmentally friendly nail polish products to the market
for
other women and young girls to enjoy.
Although I have worked as a research chemist for many
years, only
after I started working on water-based nail polish had I
realized
how difficult it was to formulate a quick drying,
long-lasting
water-base nail polish. The current formulation for
manufacturing
Suncoat water-based nail polish is the result of numerous
long days
in the lab, many sleepless nights in the office, in the
library..."
