Acetone is a harsh chemical that can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It can also strip the natural oils from your nails, leading to dryness and breakage. Prolonged exposure to acetone can also cause dizziness, headaches, and nausea.
Some alternatives to acetone include rubbing alcohol, vinegar, lemon juice, and non-acetone nail polish removers. These options are generally less harsh and less damaging to the nails and skin.
The effectiveness of alternative ingredients varies. Non-acetone nail polish removers may not work as quickly as acetone, but they are gentler on the nails. Rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and lemon juice may require more scrubbing or soaking, but they can still effectively remove nail polish.
