Please check your facts. The first product you mention (and picture), Herbatint permanent color, DOES contain hydrogen peroxide. It is the primary fuctional ingredient in the haircolor developer. Herbatint does make a semi-permanent color (Vegetal) which does not contain H. peroxide, as it is not mixed w/ developing liquid. Vegital does, however, contain resorcinol, an ingredient used primarily in prescription acne treatments and medical skin peels, which is considered very toxic by the Environmental Working Group and other health organizations.
Dyeing hair can really ruin it because of the chemicals. But these natural or herbal alternatives should treat the hair much better! Great post!
Please check your research, with all due respect, it is misleading.The first dye you mentioned, Herbatint does contain hydrogen peroxide in the glycol developer. It also contains ppd (which they say has a lower content than other dyes; it also has resorcinol. I leave this message because in the past i had a terrible reaction (not from this product) and would like to warn others of the dangers of these chemicals.
