No Miss Almost Natural Nail Polish Remover

I was doubtful at first that an all-natural nail polish remover would work, but I decided to give No Miss Almost Natural Nail Polish Remover a shot after seeing it for sale in Whole Foods.

Unlike most commercial nail polish removers, it contains no acetone and no ethyl acetate.

In animal studies, long term exposure to acetone caused kidney, liver, and nerve damage as well as birth defects and reproductive problems. Pregnant women are advised to avoid all acetone products because they may lead to birth defects.

No Miss isn't tested on animals and is a vegan product. It has a natural vanilla scent. The ingredients are: fruit acid solvent (Methyl-Pentan-2-one, Multi-fruit acids), amber acid (derived from plant lichens), deionized water, vitamin A, and natural vanilla fragrance.

All of these great things wouldn't matter if the product didn't work so I was pleased to find that it works better than the traditional nail polish removers I've used. The polish came off quickly and I wasn't knocked over by any overpowering chemical smells in the process.

If you're looking for a more natural way to remove nail polish, No Miss just might be the way to go. For those who don't have a Whole Foods or natural store nearby, there are many online stores that carry No Miss products, including the No Miss website.
