Is non-acetone nail polish remover any better than the regular nail polish remover?

Asked by sfgal (283points) January 18th, 2010

I hate the nasty chemicals in nail polish and nail polish remover, but every once in a while I paint my nails anyway. When I went to buy nail polish remover today, I saw two kinds – acetone and non-acetone. The non-acetone stuff still has a list of unpronounceable ingredients, and a chemical smell, so I’m guessing it’s still pretty bad for me and the planet. But as long as I’m using some kind of nail polish remover, is it at least a little better to use the non-acetone kind?
