I saw an awesome set for girls with polishes and remover. I'll look for the link!

ETA: It's a bit spendy, but looks safe and nicely packaged.

From the site:

"These come with a set of 3 polishes and one soy based remover in each box. There are 4 different ones to choose from - they all have one sparkle polish, one pearly polish and one polish that glows in the dark...
The nail polishes have been formulated without toluene, DBP and formaldehyde, all known carcinogens and are non toxic. They are fast drying, chip resistant, and super glossy.
The soy and polish remover is 100% biodegradable, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and does not contain any petroleum ingredients. In case you still have doubts...it's all made in a nut and egg free environment. "

Not sure if lip balm would work, but lots of WAHMs make natural (yummy!) lip balm. Here are a few:

www.hyenacart.com/clearhillshoney (she has tinted lip balm too)
www.truevinesoap.com

There are more on hyenacart too. HTH!

Hi,

I just picked up a couple nail polishes for my DD & me this weekend at a salon. They're DBP, tolulene & formaldehyde free. The brand is Spa Ritual.

Here's the website. http://www.sparitual.com/

I had previously used a nail polish by Aquarella that I bought online, but last time I searched, it didn't seem like their website was up & running.

Hope this helps.
Jill
