Q. Is nail polish remover a chemical?

Answer

Acetone is a frequent chemical in nail polish remover. It's common knowledge that this chemical may dissolve a wide variety of substances, including those found in nail polish. Solvents such as acetone, MEK, and NMP can all be found in nail polish removers. Lacquers also make use of the ketone isopropyl acetone. Colorants, fragrances, oils, and solvents are all examples of the organic solvent. Nail polish removers often contain either acetone or ethyl acetate. 30–60% acetone, 10–35% ethyl acetate, 5-20% water, 5-20% ethyl alcohol, and 3–15% glycerin (all quantities are by volume), with the ethyl alcohol solubilizing the glycerin in the acetone.
