Yes, Piggy Paint nail polish is considered safe. It is non-toxic, virtually odorless, and safe for all ages.
Piggy Paint distinguishes itself from traditional nail polishes by avoiding harmful chemicals commonly found in them. This makes it a popular choice for parents concerned about exposing their children to potentially toxic ingredients.
Here's a breakdown of why Piggy Paint is considered a safer alternative:
- Non-toxic Formula: Piggy Paint avoids ingredients like formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and bisphenol A (BPA), which are often found in conventional nail polishes and are linked to health concerns.
- Virtually Odorless: Traditional nail polishes have strong chemical odors that can be unpleasant and potentially harmful, especially to young children. Piggy Paint is virtually odorless, making it a more pleasant and safer option.
- Water-Based: Piggy Paint is water-based, which means it doesn't require harsh solvents for removal. This contributes to its non-toxic profile. To properly use Piggy Paint, you should also use the Piggy Paint basecoat and topcoat for durability. These steps allow for better adhesion and a chip-resistant finish, which is a welcome feature for active kids (and adults!).
Because of these characteristics, Piggy Paint is marketed as being "safe for all ages, even the tiniest of piggies!" This refers to babies and young children, whose exposure to chemicals is a particular concern.
