As of September 1, the EU has banned TPO (trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide) — a common ingredient in gel nail polish that helps create that glossy, long-lasting finish.

TPO has been linked to fertility problems, hormone disruption, and possible carcinogenic effects. Meanwhile, it’s still unregulated here in the U.S.

The average adult woman polishes her nails about once per week, meaning this exposure could be chronic.

But the concern goes deeper than just one ingredient. Many nail polishes contain other hidden endocrine disruptors like phthalates, parabens, and toluene — chemicals known to throw off hormones, damage fertility, and even contribute to neurodevelopment issues.

All of this matters because hormones control the body. They regulate stress, fertility, sleep, digestion, mood, metabolism — they are at the center of God’s design for holistic health. When your nails are coated in potentially toxic chemicals week after week, you’re compromising that design.

We must start demanding higher standards in cosmetics — not just for ourselves, but for our children and for future generations. Children, especially teen girls, are exposed to an average of nearly 17 personal care products daily — many with undisclosed, potentially harmful ingredients.

Imbalanced hormones are rampant in our society because of the toxins we’re exposed to, such as those found in nail polish. If you’d like to learn more about balancing your hormones naturally with food, herbs, and lifestyle medicine, comment ‘HORMONE’ and I’ll send you my free hormone-healing class.
