Acetone is most commonly USED in the following:
- nail polish remover
- acne treatments, when mixed with alcohol
- general medicinal and cosmetic applications
- food additives and food packaging
- detergent
- cleaning products
- rubber cement
- paint thinners
- fuel additive
- solvent for plastics
- solvent for synthetic fibres
Isn't it concerning to know that what we use to remove our nail polish or put on our face to clear up acne is also an ingredient in cleaning products and has the ability to dissolve plastics? If acetone can dissolve a synthetic fibre, imagine what it can do to our skin when we come into contact with it, or our throats and lungs when we inhale it.
