Hello, professional chemist here. Looking at the data sheet for the paint stripper you had compared the nail polish remover to, the main ingredient appears to be dichloromethane. Dichloromethane is acutely toxic, and also likely carcinogenic. It has a very distinctive smell, so it is more than likely to be present in that product. DCM is highly volatile and evaporates quickly, leaving the area cold. These kinds of paint strippers rely on the solvent soaking in between the layers of paint, and then evaporating to create bubbles and cracks within the paint layer. It didn’t work on the swatch stick because it needed the body heat of a person to help the DCM evaporate and puff up the paint. Given your experiences with this product, I’m fairly confident in saying it contains DCM as the active ingredient, likely contained within a cellulose-based gel to keep it in place. Because DCM is wildly toxic, this product is absolutely unsafe and should never be used on any living creature you don’t want to accidentally die.
In my undergraduate organic chem class, we always wear latex gloves during labs. Whenever we use DCM as a solvent, if it gets on our gloves, we have to immediately take those gloves on, wash our hands for several minutes, and put on new gloves. DCM is no joke.
Jesus christ, this is absolutely illegal. They need to be sued. 1. They don’t provide the ingredients list 2. Most likely didn’t get consent to sell it 3. They’re selling a nail product that is extremely toxic to living creatures, and they just lie about what it has inside it.
Just a general psa, if a company won't disclose the ingredients of their products, it's probably because one or more of the ingredients is illegal and/or very dangerous
I work in theater on prop design and it reminds me of paint thinner. The more I see it used, the more I'm convinced that's its basically an industrial solvent of some sort 😡🤔🤔 like when you use paint thinner, it heats up and makes the paint or lacquer crackle up and fall of like that. 😡😡 its so irresponsible to put into a cosmetic product. Like this could take off your skin if you get it on yourself

The primary reason she got it was because it claimed to have no smell, since she has bad asthma that can be triggered by strong smells (like acetone or acrylic monomer). I warned her to please be careful and let me know when she got it in to make sure it was safe. She forgot and used it anyway, and her nails were SO DAMAGED that her once beautiful, long natural nails completely broke off and were thin and very sore (plus the product had a strong smell, so she was upset).

@@Shayday paint stripper is used in auto shops to remove paint, so in other words they use this stuff on cars/car parts and are trying to get people to put it on their bodies for a profit.
I work in the automotive industry, and I’m a painter. To put it simply I have been in the situation of getting paint stripper (thinner) on my nails after painting them and they react pretty much how the videos are showing the nail polish in the videos. It crumples up and flakes off, the same exact way automotive paint does. I believe this product more then likely has something more caustic in it then just standard acetone (which I also use since the auto industry is swapping from thinner to acetone) If you think it smells like airplane stripper (which i have smelled so many times I think my nose hairs are permanently dead from) then it more then likely does have some form of the chemical in it. I would highly advice you to be safe with it, I had to get specially trained to work with such chemicals these days. Please be safe Cristine I would hate to see you get a nasty chem burn or harm yourself in any way. I’ve seen guys nails come off over stuff like this.
How similar is model car paint to real car paint? Model car paint stripper did the same thing. (As a kid I used model car paint for nail polish because it came in metallics, used paint stripper to take it off)
Jigoku Shojo I would say not very as recently the industry is moving into Water Based paint and I believe model car paint is still mainly chemical based. I only say that because I myself have very little experience with the older solvent paints though. Water based paint does not crackle and flake like this in my experience, and you’ll never use thinner with it, only acetone. I haven’t even seen industrial acetone have this effect on paint. I really can’t think of this polish remover having anything else in it that could be anything as gentle as acetone to be honest.
Chemist here, not sure what is in the nail stuff but judging by the ingredient list of the aircraft paint remover, you really don't want this stuff on your skin. Let's go over the ingredients: Dichloromethane: carcinogenic, acute inhalation hazard, easily absorbed through the skin. DCM is a common solvent in chemistry labs, but it's pretty nasty. Acetone (what you use as common nail polish remover) is much preferred. Methanol: have you heard about the "moonshiners" who would go blind? yeah. Ammonium hydroxide: corrosive AF. If you let urine accumulate in an area with bad ventilation, this chemical is responsible for the burning sensation in your nose. Xylene: inhalation hazard and central nervous system depressant. This stuff is responsible for the smell of spray paint. Hydrotreated light distillate: petroleum, not too concerning. Fatty acid soap: again, not concerning. Ethylbenzene: possible carcinogen, another inhalation hazard TL;DR: if you get this on your skin, wash off ASAP with plenty of soap and water. EDIT: if you want it analyzed, I could probably arrange something for you. I work in a research lab with a lot of chemical analysis instruments. ;)
Uhh, methanol is only dangerous if you drink it, otherwise it’s a pretty common ingredient in various solvents, in antifreeze. Myeah, please stop making regular things sound scarier than they are. No one is going to drink nail polish remover. :/ (By this i don’t mean to defend the product, which i’m pretty sure is just chemical garbage)
At the point she screamed, was not fair. The polish she poured it on uncurled polish. The remover gel dose not jump off the nail she displayed and dose not turn gel, acrylic or dip into a wet goo as in her video. I have used this product for 2 years with great results, no bad effects, no allergies and no burning. We use gasoline, pain thinner, paint remover and many other products a lot in life and don’t think about it. Use as recommended label directions, and wash hands following the removal as you would with any thing even a tin foil wrapped acetone soak.
Hi Cristine. I was rewatching this with my husband, an analytical chemist. He noticed that the paint stripper you used to use had methylene chloride in it as a main ingredient. He said that would make the skin feel cold, like Ben was feeling and that it has a unique smell. That chemical has an inhalation risk and some risk of absorption through the skin. Have fun and love your videos.
I think it'd be cool if you got some of that industrial paint remover and tested it on nail polish too, to see how it compares. Just test it on the yogurt lid and the fake nails, not on Ben's fingers this time lol
Random fact: Nail Polish remover with Acetone and steel wool takes the writing off street signs. 🤷🏽♀️ Fun fact courtesy of my sign writing brother hahah.
I'm a chemistry PhD student and I'm about to convince my mentor that it is imperative that I spend next week running experiments on this stuff so I can share the results with the RUclips community. edit: I did it, and made an amateur science queen video!
You should send it to a lab for chemical analysis. It would be interesting to see what is actually in it, especially just to show if it is paint stripper.
This is grey market Chinese export beauty products. Most likely the ingredients list is a complete fabrication and it really is just industrial paint stripper repackaged and sold at a 1000% markup.
I bought some... When it came out.. And no joke... IT BURNED MY NAILS... Not only did it damage it.. But my nails were super sensitive for days... They should take this off the market...
“Nail RUclipsr Cristine Rottenburg’s long time partner, Ben, dies at the age of 30 as result of an experiment of a new nail removing process that Cristine refused to use on her own nails.”
Talis I know! Like how will you know if you’re allergic if they don’t tell you the things that could give you an allergic reaction! This needs more likes.
As SOON as she opened the bottle and I saw the consistency I screamed “NO!” That is 100% paint stripper - I recognize it from when I refinished furniture. GOOD GOD.
Chances are that a few Chinese nail salons (being loosely regulated) started using the paint stripper to save time and would just put it in old gel polish bottles so customers wouldn't notice and be concerned... And then someone realized they could sell said bottles to other salons/customers worldwide.
After hearing the Podcast about how upset Ben was after doing this video, I always feel bad about watching it and laughing knowing that he was uncomfortable.
@@larataro09I don’t remember if there’s more than one of these videos, but it’s one of the Ben’s least favorite things videos. A submitted question is which video is his least favorite, and he says this one.
I actually contacted the person on the first result when you search up popping nail remover on eBay, I asked them if it was safe and they deadass said “if it doesn’t burn you is safe”
I asked the same question different people they said “if it removes polish and does job ,does it matter” then proceeded to say that they won’t do refunds
Watching this with a totally different perspective after Ben said in one of their podcasts that he was truly upset about Cristine using an industrial paint remover on his nails. It makes me a little upset too, I mean, she could have deduced it was dangerous.
Hey Cristine, as a chemist (in training) the ingredients in that aircraft paint stripper are pretty nasty and not something you’d want even close to your skin. Dichloromethane, which is the primary ingredient, is actually a carcinogen and can cause burns if you leave it on your skin for a bit. The second incredient methanol is also pretty nasty, it can cause blindness and death if ingested, which can happen if you get it on your hands and then eat without washing them. Ammonium hydroxide is very caustic and can cause bad burns. So the top 3 ingredients are all stuff you don’t want on your hands!!! So if that nail polish remover stuff really does have the same chemical makeup as you suspect, you really should avoid any further contact with it and don’t breathe it in!!
Seriously, take action. First of all stealing someone's stuff is shitty, second of all maybe it would take the ads down so uneducated people dont buy this nasty stuff
Lol 😂! You gotta say something to the company really because I don’t think that’s allowed and we can’t make other companies think it is okay to peoples photos without credit or permission.
@@lauralindsay9135 good point, but I think they aren’t allowed to see in Canada (I’m from US) without adhering to Canadian cosmetic laws. I didn’t do research recently, but that is basically how it works in the US, and we ban was fewer ingredients than a lot of other countries 😬 Anyone super curious about this should probably look into China’s laws like you mentioned 👍

So while China definitely has regulations, the ‘nail polish remover’ all seem to be coming from illegal factories.
The three ingredients mentioned; cellulose would be the gelling agent, to hold the ethanol in the area for longer (it vaporises very quickly) and the deionised water is just purified water to dilute the ethanol. Ethanol is similar to acetone, in that it would swell the resin in the nail polish making it release from the nail surface. Ethanol is really not good for you, especially over long repeated exposure.
Cristine needs to make a peel-off base coat called "It's not a problem anymore" because it makes removing polish less of an issue. EDIT: The replies argued over the name for her to just end up calling it "Peel-Off Base Coat" smh
After watching this video I went to read the comments and I never saw their podcast but it makes sense ben would be upset. I thought she was smart to test on swatches and not anyone's hand. Then Ben came in and I was so confused. Why would she put something on her lover's hands that she wouldn't on her own? That was really bizarre to me. I'm glad they worked it out though.
I think it was it was meant to be sort of a joke for the video, but I absolutely understand why Ben was upset. Given what some ppl in the comment section have said, it sounds like this stuff has some seriously scary ingredients and Ben and Cristine had no way of knowing bc the ingredients weren’t listed :(
This is illegal in the UK, any cosmetic product has to have a full list of ingredients on the actual bottle, things like this get imported with false declarations on the labels to get past import control
17:18 so I recently got a bottle of this type of polish remover from a company I trust (I had bought four holographic nail powders with gel base and top coat and a lamp) and they had the ingredients listed on the bottle. Nanosolvent, *Dichloromethane*, organic wax and initiator. The bottle of “polish remover” has one of the main ingredients of the paint remover Cristine had used as a kid. She NEEDS to see this.
i feel like a better test for this would be to go out and buy paint stripper and test them side by side before you used it on his nails so you’d know if it was just pure paint stripper in a bottle.
Nim M they could just get some metal and paint it with car paint and then use the nail polish remover. It would be the same thing I think and her dad probably has some.
I've a friend who bought this on wish a few years ago, and her nails got really damaged. Her nails were already very thin because of gel and then she putted this crap and her nails got so thin that looked like skin and fell off through the cuticles. Scary af! 😬
I don't know what she used but I've used this stuff in a few diff brands & it saved my nails. Acetone & scrapping was killing my nails til they were peeling. I don't have any nail issues now that I've switched to this stuff
@@A_o7_ I don't remember the name of the product I only know it was from wish and she did it a few times with me present and I tought that was so cool. But she switched her polish like every single day and her nails were already very very thin. I guess that all mixed ruined her nails at that time. Maybe you have very healthy nails or just really worked fine for you, and gladly!
@@justinhamilton8647it's actually not. They had a podcast episode together where they talked about this video and how Ben was actually pretty mad at her afterwards because she didn't warn him what it was. It wasn't scripted.
@@AJTheInvisibleGirl It'd probably have "made in the US/USA" rather than specifically California. But most US companies (if not all) I've bought from have their factories in Cali.
The fact that she said it smelled like paint remover she used to use when she worked at her Dad’s shop is VERY ALARMING on its own even before those sketchy responses and looking into the product ingredients and finding NOTHING
Ben: It feels cold. As a cabinetmaker, I'm pretty sure it's industrial paint stripper. Nail lacquer is very similar to furniture lacquers and shellac was first used in French Polishing. The bubbling and cold feeling (through the gloves, no way I gonna go close that shite bare handed) is pretty much how most vintage and antique furniture polishes react to industrial professional furniture strippers. FOR THE LOVE OF LIFE DO NOT PUT IT ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR SKIN OR NAILS!!!
My mum (Unique Nailz) got a video out about this rubbish a long time ago now warning people of what is inside this bottle. The bottle actually came melted!! It had no product in it, so she told the company and they just asked her if she wanted another one to review, like REALLY! But im so glad big RUclipsrs are now warning people of this. Just DO NOT buy it, simple x
You should try to strip paint off of a tire/car thing with this nail polish remover Edit: Thanks for all the likes! Beyn’s brother can’t even calculate how i got this many
Cristine should also remove polish with the paint stripper. There has to be some in Ottowa. And do it outdoors or in a well ventilated space with some cross wind.
It would be way more trouble than it's worth to try to track down the actual manufacturer in China, find a lawyer who would take the case, and actually sue them. You're unlikely to have any luck

Please be safe Cristine I would hate to see you get a nasty chem burn or harm yourself in any way. I’ve seen guys nails come off over stuff like this.
How similar is model car paint to real car paint? Model car paint stripper did the same thing. (As a kid I used model car paint for nail polish because it came in metallics, used paint stripper to take it off)
Jigoku Shojo I would say not very as recently the industry is moving into Water Based paint and I believe model car paint is still mainly chemical based. I only say that because I myself have very little experience with the older solvent paints though. Water based paint does not crackle and flake like this in my experience, and you’ll never use thinner with it, only acetone. I haven’t even seen industrial acetone have this effect on paint.
I really can’t think of this polish remover having anything else in it that could be anything as gentle as acetone to be honest.
You seem very smart!
omg everybody pray for ben
Is this even legal ...
Chemist here, not sure what is in the nail stuff but judging by the ingredient list of the aircraft paint remover, you really don't want this stuff on your skin. Let's go over the ingredients:
Dichloromethane: carcinogenic, acute inhalation hazard, easily absorbed through the skin. DCM is a common solvent in chemistry labs, but it's pretty nasty. Acetone (what you use as common nail polish remover) is much preferred.
Methanol: have you heard about the "moonshiners" who would go blind? yeah.
Ammonium hydroxide: corrosive AF. If you let urine accumulate in an area with bad ventilation, this chemical is responsible for the burning sensation in your nose.
Xylene: inhalation hazard and central nervous system depressant. This stuff is responsible for the smell of spray paint.
Hydrotreated light distillate: petroleum, not too concerning.
Fatty acid soap: again, not concerning.
Ethylbenzene: possible carcinogen, another inhalation hazard
TL;DR: if you get this on your skin, wash off ASAP with plenty of soap and water.
EDIT: if you want it analyzed, I could probably arrange something for you. I work in a research lab with a lot of chemical analysis instruments. ;)
Nerd Lord MAKE THIS HAPPEN
Cristine needs to see this!!!!!!
Ooo this is so interesting! thank you for sharing :)
Uhh, methanol is only dangerous if you drink it, otherwise it’s a pretty common ingredient in various solvents, in antifreeze. Myeah, please stop making regular things sound scarier than they are. No one is going to drink nail polish remover. :/
(By this i don’t mean to defend the product, which i’m pretty sure is just chemical garbage)
It looked nasty right at the first clip. I'm glad my instincts were right.
I laughed so hard when Christine screamed... but I was also slightly disturbed by the result and the fact there are folks that think this is safe...
This was literally my exact reaction ngl
Cristine*
At the point she screamed, was not fair. The polish she poured it on uncurled polish. The remover gel dose not jump off the nail she displayed and dose not turn gel, acrylic or dip into a wet goo as in her video. I have used this product for 2 years with great results, no bad effects, no allergies and no burning. We use gasoline, pain thinner, paint remover and many other products a lot in life and don’t think about it. Use as recommended label directions, and wash hands following the removal as you would with any thing even a tin foil wrapped acetone soak.
Ikk
@@edithelbourn7385 you’re smearing your nails in industrial solvent, eee.
Hi Cristine. I was rewatching this with my husband, an analytical chemist. He noticed that the paint stripper you used to use had methylene chloride in it as a main ingredient. He said that would make the skin feel cold, like Ben was feeling and that it has a unique smell. That chemical has an inhalation risk and some risk of absorption through the skin. Have fun and love your videos.
That's scary I hope Beyyyyn is ok

I think it'd be cool if you got some of that industrial paint remover and tested it on nail polish too, to see how it compares. Just test it on the yogurt lid and the fake nails, not on Ben's fingers this time lol

Yesssss please do this
Yes!!
I guess to know is it paint stripper or not it would be enough just to buy a pack of the paint stripper and make a comparison
@@okkasannan I wouldn't do that. Most paint strippers have reproductive or carcinogen causing chemicals.
@@Ali-pr8bm well she said she was using that as a child so I don't think that's problem now 🤨
When they say cellulose, they mean cellulose thinner, which is commonly used to strip paint... hence the familiar smell.
I think the smell is the dcm
Cellulose is to give it the gell like consistency
This is grey market Chinese export beauty products. Most likely the ingredients list is a complete fabrication and it really is just industrial paint stripper repackaged and sold at a 1000% markup.

As SOON as she opened the bottle and I saw the consistency I screamed “NO!” That is 100% paint stripper - I recognize it from when I refinished furniture. GOOD GOD.
Erica Jones me too! I saw it on a Facebook add and knew right away it was paint stripper. Looks just like that on furniture
Absolutely agree it's paint stripper that's been repackaged, possibly with cellulose added to change the consistency.
Chances are that a few Chinese nail salons (being loosely regulated) started using the paint stripper to save time and would just put it in old gel polish bottles so customers wouldn't notice and be concerned... And then someone realized they could sell said bottles to other salons/customers worldwide.
Paint stripper?

Hey Cristine, as a chemist (in training) the ingredients in that aircraft paint stripper are pretty nasty and not something you’d want even close to your skin. Dichloromethane, which is the primary ingredient, is actually a carcinogen and can cause burns if you leave it on your skin for a bit. The second incredient methanol is also pretty nasty, it can cause blindness and death if ingested, which can happen if you get it on your hands and then eat without washing them. Ammonium hydroxide is very caustic and can cause bad burns.
So the top 3 ingredients are all stuff you don’t want on your hands!!! So if that nail polish remover stuff really does have the same chemical makeup as you suspect, you really should avoid any further contact with it and don’t breathe it in!!
We need to fucking boost this.
Cristine pin this!
This needs to be the top comment!
“Don’t breathe it in”
As she’s getting nice big sniffs lmao

i love how she knows straight off who’s hands they are
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not list ingredients, ESPECIALLY on cosmetic products?

@@lauralindsay9135 good point, but I think they aren’t allowed to see in Canada (I’m from US) without adhering to Canadian cosmetic laws.

I've seen paint stripper work it looks alot like this remover
Do it on the nail Polish tester thingys where you paint on a fake nail
The three ingredients mentioned; cellulose would be the gelling agent, to hold the ethanol in the area for longer (it vaporises very quickly) and the deionised water is just purified water to dilute the ethanol. Ethanol is similar to acetone, in that it would swell the resin in the nail polish making it release from the nail surface. Ethanol is really not good for you, especially over long repeated exposure.

After watching this video I went to read the comments and I never saw their podcast but it makes sense ben would be upset. I thought she was smart to test on swatches and not anyone's hand. Then Ben came in and I was so confused. Why would she put something on her lover's hands that she wouldn't on her own? That was really bizarre to me. I'm glad they worked it out though.
Omg calling Ben her lover 😂 Good points though, and anyone who is curious should check of the Podlogical episode of Ben’s least favorite things
I think it was it was meant to be sort of a joke for the video, but I absolutely understand why Ben was upset. Given what some ppl in the comment section have said, it sounds like this stuff has some seriously scary ingredients and Ben and Cristine had no way of knowing bc the ingredients weren’t listed :(

@@axelcosgirl on a swatch stick it would be fine but I was talking about a real nail because the car paint stripper has corrosive stuff in it
And the remover on the car paint
"Is this safe?"
"I don't know. It's from Amazon."😆😆
“Did you really think I was gonna test this out on my nails!?”
“.....BEN!”
😂
You should actually use it as paint stripper and see if it works 😬
Good idea!
Agreed
She should use the nail swatchers (with a very tiny amount of oil since that's probably why it worked on Ben) and compare how they perform.
Agree. Make a video comparing this to paint stripper for cars.
But this time not in Ben 😂😂
I think you are probably right about the nail removal being paint stripper
I just bought my first uv/led gel kit last week. After falling in love with doing my own gel nails, I went online shopping for more colors. An ad for this "magical" popping gel polish remover came up. I was intrigued but also super terrified... (I value Christine's opinion and have followed her since she started) To simply nailogical I went and thankfully so. I will just soak this off and keep my finger skin!! Super Nailogic Gal to the rescue!
You should have tried it with actual car paint stripper to compare the results
@@gingersnap1788 of course
That’s too dangerous
Gal withanipad it wouldn’t be on their nails they could just do it on like anything else
yesssss
Elena C,
still. would you like to risk your health as well as others by blindly testing car paint remover on 'basically anything else '?
Cristine you should do a game show where Ben pick some nail photos for you to see if you recognize the owner of the nail
Ariel Tam omg this is awesome!!!, or viewer submitted nails and she judges us all
YES Cristine needs to see this!!
That polish popped off just like your new nail brand.
It’s like the paint remover we use when removing paint from roofs. Sometimes it cracks and is easier to remove, sometimes it doesn’t crack and it’s just a slimy mess. It’s a surprise everytime😂
We just gonna ignore the fact that Cristine was able to tell apart a person from their nails? 💀

Leslie Carlos Hannah Roxy has some very uniquely perfect and unmistakable nails 😊
@@cathyllopes so true
On that fbi bs
@@cathyllopes that french tip mani looked almost photoshopped! so perfect 😛
It'd be pretty conclusive if you tried the nail remover on car rims.
next video...?
This needs way more likes! this needs to be the next video!!!
And the car paint strip on gel polish!
Thinking the same thing, really interesting that her childhood contributed to this video~
Extremely helpful actually
„People who are allergic shouldn‘t use“, but we‘re not gonna tell you what‘s inside so you have to buy it to figure out if you are allergic to anything inside.
Kinder surprise Eggs for Adults, but in toxic...
funny how kinder eggs are illegal (rip the states) but this is apparently not
it means like anyone with allergies
That’s why Kinder Eggs are banned in America smh
bffplv anne-so et marilou nope, they were banned because someone choked on the little yellow plastic thing.
bffplv anne-so et marilou lol noooo
Thank you RUclips algorithm for recommending this random channel/video to me cause it was gold 🤣🤣🤣
