1. Context

Oxidative hair dyes contain some of the most potent contact allergens in consumer products[1]. Para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and para-toluenediamine (PTD) are the primary sensitisers; EU Regulation 2024/996 now mandates individual labelling of 80 hair-dye allergens with concentration limits[2]. In any country, the cosmetics regulator enforces ingredient restrictions and patch-testing obligations[3].

This deep dive focuses on ppd ptd allergens — one of the most critical sub-areas within hair colorant safety & allergens.

2. Common pitfalls

  1. Patch tests skipped for 'regular clients' despite regulatory requirement
  2. Product SDS files not on premises or outdated
  3. PPD concentration not checked against Annex III limits
  4. Allergic reactions treated as one-off events, no root-cause analysis
  1. Patch test 48h before EVERY oxidative dye service — no exceptions for regulars
  2. Product SDS file digitised and accessible at colour station (tablet/QR)
  3. Cross-reference product ingredients against EU Annex III concentration limits
  4. Allergic reaction incident log + root-cause analysis + product-batch tracking

4. Operator dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥
Piyo: Poppo, what exactly is the EU ALG regulation changing in July 2026?
🦉
Poppo: EU Regulation 2024/996 mandates individual labelling of 80 specific hair-dye allergens with concentration limits. Before this, products only had to carry a generic 'may cause allergic reaction' warning. Now each sensitising substance must be named on the label.
🐥
Piyo: So salons need to update their product inventory?
🦉
Poppo: Yes — and their patch-test protocols. If a client is allergic to PTD specifically, you need to know which of your products contain PTD and at what concentration. The SDS is your friend.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — knowing exactly what's in your colour tube is the difference between art and risk.
