Requirements breached
The product poses a chemical risk because it contains 10.9% of Para phenylenediamine (PPD) which is classified as potentially harmful to health. Oxidation hair dyes contain what are known as coupler substances, which bind the PPD and prevent any further reaction which would produce substances harmful to health. Because of the lack of coupler substances, this product is not an oxidising hair dye, for which the addition of PPD is permissible only up to a certain concentration under the Cosmetics Regulation.
