Nail Polish Chemical Absorption: Hidden Endocrine Disruption in Women
Groundbreaking research reveals that regular nail polish use leads to significant hormone disruption and reproductive health impacts through dermal absorption.

We're six researchers who decided to pursue independent research to focus on the health questions that matter most to real families—following the evidence wherever it leads without predetermined conclusions.
Our Mission: Independent research with no corporate sponsors. We investigate what larger institutions won't touch.
