Proč používat netoxické laky na nehty a ty chemické hodit do koše? Od zničených nehtů přes neplodnost k rakovině Jako snad u každého kosmetického výrobku, můžete zvolit i u laku na nehty jeho netoxickou nebo chemickou formu. Tým Ladybio vám ukáže (bez jakéhokoliv zájmu vás strašit či děsit), proč byste měla sáhnout po první jmenované formě - netoxickém laku na nehty: Chemické laky, se kterými se běžně setkáváme v drogeriích, obsahují toxické a potenciálně nebezpečné látky ve větším než zanedbatelném množství. Že se o škodlivosti těchto látek živě diskutuje a vědci zkoumají jejich dopad na lidské zdraví, dokazuje to, že pro 3 nejčastěji obsažené látky v lacích na nehty existuje terminus technicus „toxic trio“. Toluen Rozpouštědlo, které má za úkol, aby se lak nepřilepil k lahvičce. Zajišťuje hladký a celistvý povrch nátěru. Může negativně ovlivnit centrální nervový systém, srdce, játra, ledviny, způsobit reprodukční problémy, dýchací potíže, vypadávání vlasů. Při vdechnutí může skrz točení hlavy vést až k bezvědomí. Má obrovsky negativní dopad na životní prostředí. Formaldehyd Karcinogen, který se používá jako prostředek k vytvrzování nehtů a dezinfekční prostředek na nástroje pro péči o nehty, např. pilníky. Může způsobit rakovinu kůže či problémy s dýcháním. Dibutyl ftalát (DBT) Látka zajišťující lesk, chrání lak před popraskáním. Vyvolává v těle hormonánlní disbalanci. Může způsobit problémy s reprodukcí, selhávání orgánů. Od roku 2008 je na listu prioritních nebezpečných látek EU. Další toxické látky obsažené v chemických lacích na nehty: Formaldehydová pryskyřice Chemická substance používající se při výrobě plastů a barev. Dráždí kůži a může způsobit alergickou reakci. Kafr Ačkoliv se jedná o přírodní látku využívanou v kosmetice i medicíně, důležité je její množství a způsob užití. Nadměrné množství může při vdechnutí způsobit bolesti hlavy či zmatenost. Parabeny Chemické látky užívané jako konzervační činidla v kosmetice a farmaceutickém průmyslu. Do laků se přidávají pro to, aby ničily bakterie. Nicméně mohou způsobit alergickou reakci či podráždění kůže. Zabraňují nehtovým lůžkům vstřebávat potřebné živiny ze vzduchu a slunce, čímž zpomalují růst nehtů a snižují jejich kvalitu. Trifenyl fosfát (TPHP) Chemická látka používaná jako zpomalovač hoření u nátěrů na nábytek, lepidel či právě laků na nehty. Způsobuje hormonální disbalanci, a tím problémy s reprodukcí či vývinem plodu u těhotných žen. Xylen Rozpouštědlo, které negativně ovlivňuje centrální nervovou soustavu, dráždí trávící a dýchací ústrojí. Olovo Chemická látka ukládající se při vniknutí do těla zejména v kostech. Způsobuje bolesti hlavy, křeče, zácpu, poruchy centrálního nervového systému. Jak vybrat správný netoxický lak na nehty a co to netoxický lak na nehty vlastně je? Pokud máte strach, že pro vás tímto lakování nehtů nadobro končí, nebojte se. Chytré hlavy vymyslely kvalitní laky vyrobené jen za pomocí netoxických látek a procesů. Pro jednodušší výběr se doporučujeme soustředit se na 3-free, 5-free, 7-free a 9-free laky. 3-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria – toluen, formaldehyd, DBT 5-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria + formaldehydová pryskyřice a kafr 7-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria, formaldehydová pryskyřice, kafr + TPHP a xylen 9-free laky Garantují, že v nich nejsou obsaženy látky toxic tria, formaldehydová pryskyřice, kafr, TPHP, xylen + parabeny, živočišné složky nebo vonné látky Pokud si chcete být naprosto jistá, že lak nebude obsahovat žádnou z toxických látek uvedených výše ani žádnou jinou, zkuste bio laky na nehty Glossworks, které vám Ladybio přináší ve dvanácti různých o (zoot.cz)

A role model for the world, a powerful political player, a traditional yet modern woman - the position of first lady of the United States is many-faceted, complex and beyond high profile.Amy Russo explores how the social platforms these women established - from Mary Todd Lincoln's work for slaves and soldiers after the Civil War to Michelle Obama's fight for girls' education - have not only made the role iconic but also shaped America.
