FAQ
TPO -Free Gel Polish
What is TPO in gel polish?

TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is a photoinitiator used to cure gel polish under UV/LED lamps. While effective, some studies suggest it may cause skin sensitivity with prolonged exposure.

How do I identify TPO-free gels?

Check labels for "TPO-Free" claims
Look for certifications like EU Ecolabel
Ask suppliers for safety data sheets (SDS)

Do TPO-free gels cure properly?

Yes! Advanced formulas use alternative photoinitiators like:

EMK (Ethyl-4-dimethylaminobenzoate)
819 (Phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide)
Cure time: Same as traditional gels (30-60 sec under LED/UV).
