Formula highlight
- Coupling Agents: Resorcinol, Meta Amino Phenol (m-Aminophenol), 2,4 Diaminophenoxyethanol Dihydrochloride.
- Bleaching / Developer Agent: Hydrogen Peroxide.
- Kit consisting of Colorant and Developer, plus 4 pairs of gloves.
- Uses Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Cocamidopropyl Betaine, and Cocamide DEA to create a foaming shampoo application while delivering synthetic oxidative dyes.
Keep in mind
- Marketed as a quick hair coloring shampoo, but is actually a full synthetic oxidative box dye containing PPD and Resorcinol.
- Relies on Para-Phenylenediamine (PPD) as its primary dye agent, carrying a high risk of severe allergic contact dermatitis.
- Marketed as "Ammonia-Free," but substitutes Monoethanolamine (MEA), an alkaline agent that still swells and damages the hair cuticle.
- Formulated with Cocamide Diethanolamine (Cocamide DEA), an ingredient flagged in global toxicological databases for potential nitrosamine contamination risks.
- Relies on Resorcinol as a primary coupler, an ingredient evaluated for potential thyroid-disrupting properties.
- Relies on a Hydrogen Peroxide developer to oxidize dyes within the shaft, leading to cuticle damage over repeated applications.
