Additives in hair dyes:

There are a wide variety of hair dye products, which can be divided into cosmetics and quasi-drugs. Generally speaking, hair manicure products (including semi-permanent hair dyes and temporary hair dyes) are regulated as cosmetics, and hair colouring products (permanent hair dyes and bleaching agents) belong to quasi-drugs.

This revision has changed the information of 19 additives in Japan Quasi Drugs: Positive List of Additives in Hair Dyes. Find the details below. In addition, enterprises can further refer to the list of Permitted Active Ingredients in Hair Dyes, to determine the type of hair dye product.

1. Deleting additive "Methylrosanilinium Chlorid".

2. Modifying additive "3-Propanol (Reagent)" as "2-Propanol (Reagent)".
