What does "5-free" mean?

What does ' 5-free' mean?

• Clear Jelly Stamper's nail stamping polish is '5-free'. This means that it does not contain 5 of the most common harmful chemicals.

CAMPHOR: In rare cases, camphor can cause liver damage when applied to the skin. And nail biters be warned— it’s been linked to seizures when ingested.

DIBUTYL PHTHALATE: An endocrine disruptor, dibutyl phthalate is toxic to the reproductive system, and can affect a baby boy’s genitalia development. Plus, it’s been linked to obesity.

FORMALDEHYDE: A known carcinogen that can also cause organ and immune system toxicity, formaldehyde is an ingredient to avoid at all costs.

FORMALDEHYDE RESIN: This formaldehyde derivative may not be as toxic, but it’s a known allergen, and can cause skin irritations, as well as eye and lung irritation (and we know we all inhale some nail-polish fumes when we’re swiping on color).

TOLUENE: Toluene not only impairs breathing and can cause nausea, but it’s also toxic to the nervous system, can cause developmental damage to a fetus and is linked to malignant lymphoma.
