Key Market Trends

Rising Demand for Permanent Hair Colorants in the Region

However, for a number of years, there have been increasing concerns regarding the safety of oxidative hair dyes, or “permanent hair dyes”. Therefore, companies are launching hair colorants constituting ingredients that are permitted, such as PPD (paraphenylenediamine or p-phenylenediamine), thereby eventually resulting in the purity of the hair colorants.
