is completely non-toxic. Priti polish (which costs $10-$13 per bottle) does not contain toluene, formaldehyde, and DBP’s. Why Does This Matter?

TOLUENE which causes rapid, shallow breathing, chemical pneumonia, blurred vision, dry, cracked skin, and drowsiness also effects the kidneys and the nervous system. It may also cause an exaggerated feeling of well-being, headache, staggering tremors, and convulsions.

FORMALDEHYDE is a strong allergen and irritant to which humans have a very low odor threshold, also a known carcinogen. It increases airway resistance when inhaled, probably because of local irritation and release of inflammatory mediators. Additionally, formaldehyde is a strong contact allergen.
