A herbal based permanent hair colour with aloe vera, no paraben, NO AMMONIA and only 3% peroxide. Herbatint grows out and hair re-growth will need re-colouring in approximately four weeks. Herbatint has fewer chemicals in than other permanent hair colours on the market and unlike products which contain ammonia it has no smell once mixed. The absence of ammonia results in little or no penetration of the epidermis and is less likely for people to have allergic reactions.
In recent times there have been articles written about the risks of permanent Hair Colours and linking use of permanent colours to some forms of cancers. In 2005 the European Union decided it was time to regulate the use of chemicals in hair dyes. The Italian makers of Herbatint have to comply with European Union standards, currently there are no standards in place for Non European products. One of the chemicals which causes concern from people with allergies is p-phenylenediamine, more commonly referred to as PPD. This is present in all permanent hair dyes, with concentrations of PPD being larger in the darker colours. European standards allow makers to use up to 6% of PPD in hair products. Herbatint contains only 0.6% -0.7% in the darker colours and has only traces of it in the light colours. This is considerably less than many of the other hair colours available in both Europe and NZ. The lack of ammonia in Herbatint prevents absorption of dye into the epidermis and it's therefore less likely to cause allergic reactions and there are also no toxic fumes to be inhaled. A lot of people are under the misconception that the danger lies in the penetration of the colour product in to the scalp. The truth of the matter is that it is the inhalation of toxic fumes which can be harmful. Consumers concerned about peroxide will be happy to learn that Herbatint contains the minimum strength of peroxide necessary to open up the hair cuticle. Herbavita are committed to limiting the types and concentrations of chemicals in their Herbatint line as much as possible.
