Parabens: A rapidly growing body of research suggests that parabens - which are used in many conventional personal care products, not just hair dyes - can disrupt normal hormonal function in the body. In particular, they have been shown to mimic oestrogen and to actually curtail a woman’s production of this hormone, affecting fertility. Resorcinol: This has been officially classified as an irritant by the European Union, and it has been removed or at least greatly restricted in cosmetic products in several countries, including Japan and Canada. Resorcinol is often an ingredient that hair dye users are allergic to. PPD: One of the main culprits behind allergic reactions like dermatitis is a chemical called p-phenylenediamine. PPD is commonly used in hair dyes, especially darker shades. It’s reported to be most problematic in home dye kits - in fact, between seven and 10 per cent of people colouring their hair at home have a reaction
to PPD. Any unpleasant reactions usually subside when the oxidisation process ends, but for the unlucky few, allergic reactions can result in a complete immune response, or possibly even anaphylaxis. The good news is there is a substitute for PPD which is less likely to cause these reactions. According to Australian hair colour brand Aromaganic, a chemical known as TDS is a milder option for people who react badly to PPD. Aromaganic was created by DNA Organics, a company founded by a teamof successful hairdressers. In fact the range is free of ammonia, bleach, gluten, parabens, persulphates, PEGs, phthalates, DEA, resorcinol as well as PPD. You don’t have to resort to messy powder potions, there is now a professional easy to use alternative. The majority of the ingredients in Aromaganic are Certified Organic in Australia, 100 per cent vegan, Australianowned,not testedonanimalsand includes 16 popular shades in a D-I-Y kit.
