Starting from phenomenological $\\eta(\\eta^\\prime) \\pi\\pi$ couplings, the nEDM arises at two loop level. The leading-order relativistic ChPT calculation with the minimal photon coupling to charged pions and a proton inside the loops leads to a finite, counter term-free result. This is an improvement upon previous estimates which used approximations in evaluating the two loop contribution and were plagued by divergences.
