Description

Oxidation Hair Dyes, classified under Type-3 as per IS 8481:2020, are permanent hair coloring products that are supplied in liquid, gel, or cream forms. These dyes work through a chemical reaction between primary intermediates and couplers in the presence of an oxidizing agent (usually hydrogen peroxide), resulting in long-lasting color that penetrates the hair shaft.

These formulations typically include:

  • Primary intermediates (e.g., para-phenylenediamine or its derivatives)

  • Couplers for color modulation

  • Emulsifying and conditioning bases for application ease and hair care

  • Fragrances, stabilizers, and pH adjusters

The product must be:

  • Homogeneous, stable, and easy to apply

  • Safe for use on hair and scalp with appropriate allergen warnings

Purpose of Testing

Testing of Type-3 Oxidation Hair Dyes under IS 8481:2020 ensures chemical safety, performance reliability, and regulatory compliance, as these are products involving direct skin and scalp contact with active dye intermediates.

Key Objectives of the Testing:

  • Confirm the presence and concentration of permitted dye intermediates and couplers

  • Verify pH value for scalp and hair compatibility

  • Check for heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and mercury to ensure non-toxicity

  • Assess microbial safety (absence of harmful pathogens and total viable count)

  • Evaluate product stability over shelf life (including phase separation or degradation)

  • Ensure the absence of prohibited substances such as barium salts, coal tar dyes (if applicable), etc.

  • Verify allergen labeling and warning declarations (e.g., patch test advisory)

  • Ensure packaging and labeling comply with BIS and cosmetic regulations
