A New Era for Safer Nail Products in the EU
Hey there, beauty pros and conscious consumers!
If you’re in the nail industry, you’ve probably already heard the news — as of September 1st, 2025, the European Union has officially banned the use of HEMA and TPO in nail gel formulations.
This is a major milestone for consumer safety, aiming to minimize allergic reactions and skin sensitization. While many brands are now rushing to reformulate, YouGel is proud to say:
We Were Ready Before the Ban.
Your favorite YouGel nail gels have always been HEMA-Free and TPO-Free — meeting and exceeding EU safety standards long before they were enforced.
What Exactly Is the EU Ban About?
Let’s break it down. The EU, guided by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), has restricted two common nail gel ingredients:
HEMA (2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate)
A powerful adhesion monomer often used for better bonding — but also one of the top culprits behind allergic contact dermatitis in nail professionals and clients.
TPO (2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphine Oxide)
A photoinitiator that helps gel cure under UV or LED lamps. However, concerns about its potential as a skin sensitizer led to its inclusion in the ban.
By restricting these substances, the EU has taken a stand for safer beauty — a move YouGel wholeheartedly supports.
The YouGel Difference: Safety Was Never an Afterthought
While some companies are scrambling to meet new standards, YouGel didn’t have to change a thing.
