Here's a breakdown of what that means and why it's important:
* Plasticizer: A plasticizer is a substance added to materials (like nail polish) to increase their flexibility, reduce cracking, and improve their ability to adhere to the nail surface.
* How it works: Camphor helps create a smoother, more even film when the nail polish dries. It also makes the polish more resistant to chipping and peeling, resulting in a longer-lasting manicure.
However, it is important to note that camphor can cause allergic reactions in some people. It is also no longer used as frequently in nail polish formulas as some other plasticizers due to potential health concerns.
