Endocrine Disruptors—They’re Bad In Nail Polish And Worse In Birth Control
I was at the nail salon recently, and they had a sign on their counter highlighting their use of products free from endocrine disruptors. Nail polish, really? Isn’t this excessive and fearful living? Are endocrine disruptors really that bad?
Apparently, they are, so much so that there’s a rise in ditching nail polish along with plastics, beauty products, and household cleaners that contain toxic endocrine disruptors. However, there’s another culprit most women aren't yet aware of – birth control. That’s right. While women are led to believe that birth control is a single or combination “hormone,” i.e. natural, they’re actually ingesting synthetics. And synthetic hormones are one among many compounds that are technically classified as endocrine disruptors.
