Let’s talk TPO — the toxin hiding in your gel manicure. 💅🏼
As of September 1st, the European Union officially banned TPO (trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide), a common ingredient in gel nail polish linked to infertility and serious reproductive health issues.
The U.S.?
Still using it. Still no warnings. Still calling it “safe.”
This chemical is a photo-initiator — it helps cure the polish under UV light. But it doesn’t just stay on your nails… it can leach into your bloodstream, interfere with hormone signaling, and accumulate over time.
🧬 Your nails are part of your nervous system.
💀 Your liver has to detox every toxin you touch.
⚠️ Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like TPO may silently drive symptoms like:
• Irregular cycles
• Trouble conceiving
• Hormonal acne
• Estrogen dominance
• Thyroid dysfunction
What you put on your body matters.
And no, Europe isn’t just being extra — they’re protecting their citizens in ways the U.S. has yet to catch up on.
