TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is being banned in the EU and UK

The European Union has recently taken a strict step by banning gel nail polish products that contain a chemical ingredient known as TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide). This decision comes after research highlighted that TPO can have fatal effects on human health, particularly fertility and reproductive systems. TPO, which is commonly used in gel nail products as a photo-initiator to harden polish under UV light, was found to carry risks that go beyond cosmetic use. Scientists and health experts raised concerns that prolonged exposure to this ingredient could interfere with hormones, potentially leading to fertility challenges and long-term reproductive health issues.

This move reflects the EU’s precautionary approach to consumer safety, especially in industries like cosmetics and personal care, where chemical exposure can often be underestimated. By imposing this ban, the EU aims to protect millions of consumers, particularly women, who are the primary users of gel nail polishes. The decision also sends a strong message to cosmetic manufacturers worldwide to prioritize safe formulations over harmful quick-fix chemicals.

Beauty professionals and salons across Europe are now being encouraged to switch to safer, approved alternatives that do not compromise health. While gel nails remain a popular fashion trend, this ban highlights the importance of understanding the hidden risks behind beauty products. Consumers are also being urged to become more aware of product ingredients and to make choices that support both style and well-being.
