And many do not even know it.
The cosmetics industry is changing, the EU is banning certain chemicals to protect our health and environment, one of them is TPO, still used in many UV cured gel polishes.
If you are a nail artist, a salon owner, or a beauty brand, this change matters to you.
TPO Is Now Officially Banned
❌ Why Is TPO Dangerous?
TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) helps gel polish harden under UV or LED lamps.
But scientific studies confirmed serious health risks:
⚠️ Toxic to reproduction
⚠️ May disrupt hormones
⚠️ Can irritate skin and eyes
⚠️ Harmful to the environment
This is why the EU is banning it from cosmetics starting September 1, 2025.
😕 Still Confused About TPO and TPO L?
Many professionals think TPO L is just a liquid version of TPO, it is not.
| TPO | TPO L | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Banned, Sept 2025 | Not banned |
| Risk | High, toxic and irritating | Low, considered safe |
| Used in | Older UV formulas | Modern UV and LED formulas |
| Safety | ⚠️ Not safe for cosmetics | ✅ Approved by EU authorities, SCCS |
| Type | Photoinitiator | Photoinitiator |
TPO L is completely different, it is not a banned substance.
