EU BANS INGREDIENT...
What does this mean for you as a Bio Sculpture Nail Stylist?
The ingredient “micronized silver (powder)” CI77820
may no longer be used as a colorant in nail gel products as of May 1, 2026.
These 5 colors contain “micronized silver (powder)” CI77820:
#116 EVO Betsy
#117 EVO Irene
•#118 EVO Janine
#119 EVO Bernice
#157 EVO Lowanna
These five Evo products bearing the EVO logo must be phased out within the EU by May 1, 2026, at the latest
This also applies to salons!
NOTE:
#116 Betsy is already available in the improved Colour Gel formula (without CI 77820), and therefore meets the requirements.
So you can no longer use the "old" Betsy bottle with the EVO logo on it after May 1!
The colors #117 Irene, #119 Bernice, and #157 Lowanna will be available in a new formula and packaging—
—by May 2026,so products bearing the EVO logo may no longer be used after May 1!
#118 EVO Janine will no longer be available.
As for the other EVO colors (i.e., old bottles with the EVO logo)
There are 54 colors that do not contain silver, for which the back label needs to be updated.
These colors do not contain silver, but the labels state "may contain."
These labels need to be replaced.
Colors already available in Colour Gel
(i.e., without Silver, plus the correct label),
Do you still have an EVO bottle? If so, it currently says “may contain,” but these do not contain Silver… they will receive a new label.
