Hair dye

Hair color built on plant and mineral pigments and ammonia-free formulas where possible.

Conventional permanent dyes often rely on ammonia and aromatic amines that can sensitize skin and raise other concerns. Plant- and mineral-based options, or ammonia-free formulas with full disclosure, reduce exposure to those compounds.
