Question 1

What makes Herbatint different from other permanent hair colours?

Accepted Answer

Herbatint is a gentle, at-home permanent hair colour that respects both your hair and your scalp.

Unlike many conventional dyes, Herbatint is made with carefully selected herbal extracts along with some carefully curated chemicals and it is free from ammonia, alcohol, parabens, and fragrance. It’s designed to give long-lasting colour and shine while helping maintain the health of your hair over time.

Question 2

Is Herbatint made with natural or organic ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Herbatint is formulated with naturally-derived ingredients, including certified organic herbal extracts like Aloe Vera, Echinacea, and Walnut.

While not every ingredient is organic & naturally derived, each one is chosen for its safety and performance. Our unique formula blends science and nature to offer an effective and gentle colouring experience that is the most natural alternative on the market. It does contain very small levels of Phenylenediamine (PPD), that on average is five times lower than the limit allowed by European regulations.

Question 3

Does Herbatint contain ammonia, alcohol, or parabens?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Herbatint is proudly free from ammonia, alcohol, parabens, and fragrance. This means less irritation, no strong smell, and a much more pleasant experience overall.

Question 4

What is PPD, and does Herbatint contain it?

Accepted Answer

PPD (p-Phenylenediamine) is a colouring agent commonly used in permanent hair dyes. Herbatint uses a very low concentration of pharmaceutical-grade PPD (where needed) to ensure grey coverage and lasting results. The amount used is well within EU-approved safe limits.

If you're concerned about sensitivities, we always recommend doing a patch test 48 hours before use.

Question 5

What’s the difference between Herbatint and henna?

Accepted Answer

Henna is a natural plant dye that stains the outer layer of your hair and can build up over time. It usually results in red/orange tones and is difficult to remove. Herbatint is a permanent gel colour that penetrates the hair shaft, offering a wider range of shades (from ash to golden to deep browns) and more reliable grey coverage, without the long-term commitment of henna.

Question 6

Is Herbatint vegan and cruelty-free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Herbatint is 100% vegan and cruelty-free. No animal testing is done at any stage of production, and none of our ingredients are derived from animals.

Question 7

Are the herbal extracts in Herbatint certified organic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the eight herbal extracts featured in Herbatint’s formula are certified organic. These include Aloe Vera, Echinacea, Walnuts, and more. Each chosen for its unique benefits for hair and scalp health.

Question 8

What does it mean that Herbatint is dermatologically tested?

Accepted Answer

Our formula has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin by an independent Italian research clinic. This helps ensure that the product is well tolerated and safe to use on most skin types. That said, a patch test is still a must before every use, just to be safe.
