Ambedo Beauty - Safety first with HEMA-Free & TPO-Free Gels: Setting the standard for at home gel nails
Beyond HEMA‑Free:
Why Ambedo Beauty is Setting the New Standard for Non‑Toxic Gel Nails
• HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate) is a common allergen in gel polishes. HEMA‑free reduces risk but doesn't tell the whole story.
• TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide) is another sensitising photoinitiator often left in "HEMA‑free" formulas.
• Ambedo Beauty is both HEMA‑free and TPO‑free. We also hold SGS certification, EU approval, and are cruelty‑free and vegan.
• Our 12‑free formula excludes 12 common irritants, offering comprehensive safety without sacrificing wear or shine.
For many nail enthusiasts, the journey into gel polish has been fraught with concerns about potential allergens and skin sensitivities. A primary culprit identified in many traditional gel formulas is HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate). This monomer, while effective for adhesion and durability, has been linked to allergic reactions, including contact dermatitis, itching, and redness, particularly with repeated skin exposure.
The beauty industry responded to these concerns, and "HEMA‑free" products emerged as a vital solution. These formulations significantly reduced the risk of allergic reactions, making gel manicures accessible to a wider audience. Ambedo Beauty has always championed this movement, ensuring our products are free from HEMA, providing a safer foundation for your nail health.
While HEMA‑free is a crucial step, it doesn't tell the whole story of a product's safety profile. Another chemical compound often found in gel nail systems is TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide). TPO is a photoinitiator, a substance that reacts to UV or LED light to cure the gel polish. While efficient, TPO has raised concerns due to its potential for skin irritation and its classification as a sensitiser in some contexts.
Many brands that remove HEMA might still utilise TPO, inadvertently leaving a gap in their non‑toxic claims. At Ambedo Beauty, our philosophy extends beyond simply removing known irritants. We aim for comprehensive safety. This is why we have meticulously formulated our gel nail systems to be completely TPO‑free in addition to being HEMA‑free. This dual commitment ensures a significantly reduced risk of sensitisation and irritation, offering a truly cleaner beauty experience.
Our dedication to non‑toxic gel nails is not just about removing harmful chemicals. It is a holistic approach to beauty that prioritises your well‑being. Ambedo Beauty products are:

What is the difference between HEMA‑free and TPO‑free?
HEMA‑free means the product does not contain Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate, a common allergen. TPO‑free means the product does not contain Trimethylbenzoyl Diphenylphosphine Oxide, a photoinitiator that can also cause irritation. Ambedo Beauty products are free from both, offering enhanced safety.

Yes. Our HEMA‑free and TPO‑free formulations are specifically designed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions and irritation, making them an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin.
