I have a PPD allergy - will this be ok for me?

Water Colour Gel is PPD-Free. Many people who react to standard PPD dyes find this hair dye colour much easier to tolerate.

However: If you have a confirmed allergy to PPD (p-phenylenediamine), it’s important to be cautious with any hair colour because:

Some people with PPD allergy can also react to related colour ingredients (this is called cross-reaction)
Sensitivities can be unpredictable, and allergies can develop over time (sensitisation) even if you’ve used a product before without problems

Whether you have allergies or not, you should always patch test before every use - even if you’ve used the product successfully in the past. If you get any itching, redness, stinging, swelling or irritation during the patch test, do not use the product. If you’ve had a severe reaction before (e.g. facial/eye swelling, blistering, widespread rash), we recommend speaking with a GP/dermatologist and asking about patch testing to confirm which ingredients you react to.
