Hi Karin, Andria is away for a few days and I have been asked to look after her emails.

Thank you for your email. Yes of course we know what the 3 Free are (just not the term it was refereed to).

Cetuem nail enamels

1. Does Not contain DBP.

2. Does Not contain Formaldehyde.

3. Does contain Formaldehyde Resin, where you will find a 0 low hazard rating. (you can find some more information on this at: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/ingredient/702501/FORMALDEHYDE_RESIN/)

3. Does NOT contain hazardous dosages of Toluene. Here is an excerpt from the report from the European commission.

The levels of Toluene that Cetuem uses is below the level stated in the report.

1. Taking into account the available data on ungual penetration of chemical substances and the physico-chemical properties of toluene, the SCCP is of the opinion, that the penetration of toluene can reasonably be expected to be practically nil .

2. Taking into account the available scientific data, the short-term exposure to toluene from nail products containing 25% toluene is not considered to be of concern with regard to acute neurological effects. Since the risk assessment is based on human data, a MoS of ≥10 is acceptable.

In summary, the SCCP is of the opinion that inclusion of toluene up to 25% is safe from the general toxicological view in nail cosmetics used as intended in adults and children. However, the SCCP would like to point out that there is a foreseeable risk of increased inhalation by children as part of the normal playing behaviour from cosmetics promoted as children’s toys. Therefore, the use of toluene in such products is not considered appropriate.

And here is a link to the report: http://ec.europa.eu/health/ph_risk/committees/04_sccp/docs/sccp_o_133.pdf

4. Safety is of the most paramount importance to Cetuem. we our confident that our nail enamels are safe to use and they have passed all toxicology and safety tests. Cetuem does not only manufacture nail enamels but also hair care and skin care, in which we do NOT use any SLS, DEA, TEA, MEA or parabens.

If there is any other information or questions please do not hesitate to contact us, and if we do not know we will do our best to find out.

Chris, Cetuem
