Formulation view Dye containing Toluene-2,5-diamine Sulfate and Resorcinol. Ethanolamine aids solubility; Glyceryl Stearate SE emulsifies. Ascorbic Acid acts as antioxidant. Preservative-free, relying on high dye concentration for stability. For semi-permanent use. Factory note: amine-volatile mixtures require immediate filling and sealing.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Cetearyl Alcohol
- Fatty alcohol emulsifier at 1-5%; non-ionic surfactant
- Ethanolamine
- pH adjuster; restricted in cosmetics, potential sensitizer and irritant.
- Laureth-3
- Not decoded yet
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Common anionic surfactant, strong foam but drying; check cationic compatibility, high eye irritation
- Sodium Sulfate
- Inorganic salt for viscosity; high concentrations cause osmotic dehydration.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE
- Emulsifier at 1–3%; oil-phase ingredient, easy emulsification, low sensitization.
- Decyltetradecanol
- Mixed fatty alcohols (C10/C14) for emollience/stability; may feel heavy at high levels.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Strong anionic surfactant, high foam; high irritation risk, avoid in sensitive formulas.
- Cera Alba
- Animal-derived wax; emulsifier and occlusive; adds texture and emollience
- Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate
- Mild cleanser with rich lather and low irritation; hygroscopic, requires moisture-resistant packaging
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- Mica
- Mineral colorant for pearlescence; heavy metal screening required
- Sodium Sulfite
- Sulfite antioxidant to prevent oxidation; sulfites are known allergens and must be strictly declared on labels.
- Ascorbic Acid
- Vitamin C, potent antioxidant requiring acidic environment for stability; oxidizes and discolors easily, needs light and air protection, concentration 1-10%, pure L-ascorbic acid is more irritating.
- 4-Amino-M-Cresol
- Hair dye constituent; EU Annex III restricted, prohibited at ≥0.1%, high sensitization.
- Hydrolyzed Keratin
- Hydrolyzed keratin; small peptides; barrier repair, humectant, no pub comed data
- Toluene-2
- Not decoded yet
- 5-Diamine Sulfate
- Not decoded yet
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Resorcinol
- Resorcinol for keratolysis and antioxidant; restricted concentration; high allergenicity, strict compliance needed
- Ci 77891
- Titanium dioxide inorganic pigment and UV filter; assess inhalation risk for nano-forms and EU restrictions
- Hexyl Cinnamal
- Common fragrance component (jasmine/vanilla note); listed EU allergen, requires labeling at >10ppm (leave-on).
- 4-Amino-2-Hydroxytoluene
- Permanent hair dye ingredient; restricted professional use, high sensitization risk.
- M-Aminophenol
- m-Aminophenol, hair dye intermediate, EU concentration limit; high skin sensitization, needs assessment.
- Limonene
- Natural fragrance solvent, EU allergen; poor photostability
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Benzyl Benzoate
- Chelating agent for stability; restricted substance, not permitted as single component or in mixtures at ≥0.1%.
