Abstract

This study compares the safety of nail products by reviewing domestic and foreign literature for preparing a safety management plan for reduction of human body exposure to hazardous substances that occur in nail products. We analyzed the cases of exceeding the limit value of hazardous substances. In domestic artificial nail adhesive and nail tip, toluene content was 40.3 times higher than the standard value, chloroform was 22.8 times, and antimony was 15.4 times. In developed countries, it is obligatory to provide material safety data and workplace ventilation equipment through various policy researches. However, there is no safety standard in Korea. Therefore, if the regulations for safety management should be established with each characteristic of nail product, work environment, workers, and consumers, and the awareness of hazardous substance cosmetics should be improved through development and dissemination of various educational programs, it can contribute to disease prevention and health promotion.

본 연구는 최근 화장품 유해성분에 관한 이슈를 끊임없이 제기되면서 네일 제품에서 발생할 수 있는 유해물질 인체 노출 저감을 위한 안전관리 방안 마련을 목적으로 국내외 문헌고찰을 통해 네일 제품의 안전 표시 기준 현황을 비교 분석하고, 네일 제품 내 유해물질 허용 기준치 초과 사례를 파악하였다. 연구 결과 국내 유통된 인조 손톱 접착제와 네일팁에서 각각 톨루엔 40.3배, 클로로포름 22.8배, 안티몬 15.4배 초과 검출되었다. 선진국은 다양한 정책연구 및 법제화를 통해 작업장 물질안전보건자료 제공 및 환기 장치 설치 등을 의무화하고 있으나 국내에서는 별도의 안전 기준이 없어 네일 제품을 통한 유해물질 인체 노출이 심각한 상황이다. 따라서 네일 제품 작업환경 종사자 소비자 각각의 특성에 맞게 세부 네일 유해물질 안전관리 규정이 우선적으로 정립되어야 하고, 이에 따른 다양한 교육 프로그램 개발 및 보급을 통해 유해물질 화장품에 대한 인지도를 제고한다면 국민의 질병예방 및 건강증진의 융복합적 차원에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
