What are the ingredients of nail polish remover, apart from acetone?

Acetone is one of the biggies, although some nail polish removers are using ethyl acetate instead.





Depending on the brand you buy, I've seen some that have some glycerin or aloe vera (so that your skin doesn't dry out as much due to removal of essential oils), and then some have fragrances.





For instance, here's the ingredient list for a ';kinder, gentler'; remover:





Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Dibutyl Adipate, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange)Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Benzophenone-3, Cl 26100 (D%26amp;C #17). (see ref)
