Acetone
INCI
SUMMARY
Acetone is a chemical solvent used mostly in nail products to dissolve nail polish, gels and glues. It is not a typical ingredient in cosmetic products because of its potential to cause skin irritation, but may be used in small amounts in formulas like makeup removers, creams and lotions, to dissolve or blend other ingredients. In these cases, acetone is carefully formulated to decrease its potential side effects on skin.
