According to the EU's new regulation, the use of cosmetic products containing the substance Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide (TPO) will be banned from September 1, 2025. We have highlighted some frequently asked questions to help you understand what this change in the law means.
Which nail products do not contain TPO?
Nail products from Nagelexperten do not contain TPO and have never contained it since our brand was founded. This means you will be able to continue using all our products just as before. In addition to this, our products are also HEMA, DiHEMA, and 12-free, making them a good choice for you if you want to avoid unnecessary chemicals.
What does the TPO ban mean?
It means that products containing TPO may neither be sold nor used in salons after September 1, 2025. This also applies to products purchased before this date. It is therefore important to review your product range and replace products containing this substance before the regulation comes into force. It is therefore not possible to use up nail products containing TPO; instead, these products must be disposed of.
What is TPO?
TPO (Diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide) is a photoinitiator that has commonly been used in nail products as it helps in the curing process. TPO has been linked to potential endocrine disruption, carcinogenicity, and skin irritation.
