About

A semi-permanent red hair colorant in the HC Red series. Without a specific SCCS opinion the conservative reading is "use as a hair dye only, with standard sensitisation caveats" — not skin- or lash-safe.

Function

COLORANT

Skin benefits

Known concerns

  • Hair-dye sensitisation potential
  • Not for eyebrow/eyelash tinting
