BEWARE!! while this product doesn't list PPD as an ingredient, it Does contain derivatives of the exact same chemical, plus Other Harsh Chemicals like resorcinol, etc. i had to go to Emergency because of my Severe Allergic Reaction to it. i was put on Prednisone (oral steroid) for 3.5 weeks, and my doctor was so worried he said i might Chemotherapy to stabilize my condition. if i could only upload images of how badly i reacted to Sanotint Light... you would be Horrified! so please be careful. their claim of no PPD is FALSE!!! while there are many kinds of roses, a rose is still a rose. similarly, this product contains PPD. again, for those of you with allergies to PPD, BEWARE!!!

So sorry to hear about Blacksheep's horrible reaction! Blacksheep, do you recommend another hair dye without PPd? How can Sanotint say there is no ppd when they have a derivitive??

Hi, I tried Sanotint light hair dye and had a very bad allergic reaction to it. Similar to Jayakanth's reaction.
I dont think any color is completley free of PPD, I tried for months and found only one that might not have PPD or any of the other chemicals. Check out actnaturals.com if you want the dye. I didn't try it because I live in India and getting it from New York everytime is kind of tedious.
But I found a blog ,herbalhair.blogspot.com which suggested trying henna powder with indigo leaf powder, the combination of which gives a black color. It's totally natural,plant and vegetable based,and works very well. I tried it and am very, very happy with the result. I have a lot of grey hair and now my hair is black, shiny and soft. I bought the indigo leaf powder from Tamil nadu,India and mix it at home with the henna. The beauty salon I go to has also decided to buy the indigo powder as a lot of customers want to switch to this natural way of coloring hair. Of course this is a solution for people with dark hair not light hair.

I have used Sanotint Light a few times and have been very happy with the results, I haven't had a reaction to PPD myself but I know people who have and decided I no longer wanted to take the risk so I am trying out all the PPD free hair dyes I can find! I just wanted to warn people who do have allergies that although Sanotint list the ingredients on site as INGREDIENTS: Oil extract of golden Millet with Calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5) and biotin; vegeteble extracts: Olive Leaf, Birch, Grape seed. When I got the hairdye boxes I found that there are other ingredients beside these including resorcinol and hydrogen peroxide, also the conditioner in mine had some parabens. So it isn't quite as natural as it would first appear.
