ThriveCo Henna Gel Hair Colour: Dermatocare review
ThriveCo Henna Gel Hair Colour features Toluene-2,5-Diamine Sulfate (PTD) as its primary coloring agent alongside Sodium Perborate as a bleaching agent and m-Aminophenol as a chemical coupler. Despite being marketed as an herbal henna gel, its overall formulation functions similarly to conventional box hair dyes.

Formula highlight
- Coupling agent: m-Aminophenol, 2,4-Diaminophenoxyethanol HCl.
- Bleaching/developer agent: Sodium Perborate (releases Hydrogen Peroxide once mixed with the Gel Activator)
- Botanical Extracts: Includes traditional herbal powders (Henna, Indigo, Amla, Reetha, Shikakai, Aloe) to help coat and soften the hair shaft.
- Kit includes a Color Protection Shampoo and Glossy Hair Mask.
Keep in mind
- Markets an herbal/henna image, yet relies on synthetic chemical dyes and perborate bleaches.
- Marketed as bleach-free but Sodium Perborate is an oxidizing agent that generates Hydrogen Peroxide once mixed.
- Swaps PPD for PTD, carrying a ~50% cross-allergy risk for sensitive scalps.
- Relies on synthetic chemical dye couplers, including 3-Aminophenol and 2,4-Diaminophenoxyethanol HCl.
