TPO ban from September 1, 2025

First things first: our products have been completely FREE of TPO for many years.

In Switzerland, a ban on the sale and use of all cosmetic products containing TPO (trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide) will come into force on September 1, 2025.

TPO is a photoinitiator that was often used in gels and gel polishes. Due to its classification as a CMR substance category 1B (may have adverse effects on reproduction), it will be completely banned from this date.

What does this mean if you still have such products from other suppliers?

Products containing TPO may still be used and sold until August 31, 2025.

From September 1, 2025, the sale and use of such products will no longer be permitted.

What should you do now?

Check your inventory for products containing TPO. (All of our products are TPO-free.)

Plan your switch to our TPO-free products in good time.

Feel free to contact us—we will advise you on suitable replacement products.
