To jut confirm my products do not contain TPO …… this is for reference to make all aware

As of September 1, 2025, Trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide (TPO) has been banned for use in nail products made and sold within the EU market.

From August 15 2026, brands can no longer sell or supply new products containing TPO to retailers or distributors in the UK, and by February 14 2027, all products containing TPO must be removed from store shelves in the UK.

TPO is being banned as a result of European Union officials deeming the ingredient as potentially toxic to humans.

The initial announcement regarding the ban on TPO prompted concern across the industry, with some professionals questioning whether the findings underpinning the decision had been interpreted proportionately.

Caroline Rainsford, Director of Science at the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association explained, “The reason why TPO has been banned in cosmetic products is based on its hazardous properties, meaning how a substance might behave under a "worst case" situation when our bodies are exposed to a very large amount.

"This is not how TPO is used in cosmetics. The amount of this ingredient used in nail products is over a thousand times less than the amount which could have any negative effect on fertility and these products are applied to the nail, so the potential for the ingredient to be absorbed into our bodies is even smaller.”
