Elegelli’s tpo free gel polish range leads the way with a safer, compliant, and future-proof solution.

What Is TPO, and Why Is It Being Banned?

TPO, or Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide, has long been a popular photoinitiator in gel nail polishes thanks to its rapid curing and glossy finishes. However, the EU’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety has raised concerns about its safety, particularly its potential for skin sensitization and other health risks. As a result, the EU has decided to ban TPO in all cosmetic formulations starting September 2025.

  • TPO can provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
  • There is worry about its long-term health effects with sustained exposure.
  • This ban aims to make personal care safer for both salon professionals and their clients.

What Does the TPO Ban Mean for Nail Salons?

For nail salons, the TPO ban is a significant shake-up. Professionals must now reassess their entire product line and source alternatives that comply with EU regulations, without compromising performance. This transition can feel confusing, but it also offers opportunities to choose better formulas for staff and clientele.

  • Salons must switch to tpo free gel polish lines before September 2025.
  • Non-compliance could result in penalties and loss of customer trust.
  • Now is the time to align with best practices in health and safety.

At Elegelli, we anticipated these regulatory changes and formulated our gel polish collection with absolute safety and brilliance in mind. Our tpo free gel polish contains zero TPO, offering salon owners and clients confidence and compliance long before the ban takes effect.
