Non-acetone polish removers contain ethyl acetate or nethyl ethyl keytone as their active ingredient. They are gentler on skin and were developed for use with nail extensions because acetone can cause extensions to become brittle and "lift." Non-acetone is less effective for removing nail polish than acetone.
Why is acetone bad for you?
Acetone isn't toxic, but it is dangerous when ingested. Exposure to acetone can dehydrate the nail plate, cuticles and the surrounding skin – nails can become dry and brittle, and cuticles can become dry, flaky, red and irritated.
Is non-acetone nail polish remover the same as rubbing alcohol?
In spite of so many ingredients in nail polish remover being rubbing alcohol or alcohol-based, nail polish remover is notrubbing alcohol. This is because the most powerful ingredient in nail polish remover is acetone, which is not a form of rubbing alcohol, despite its similar funky smell.
