Sanotint Light

I have been using Sanotint Light Golden Chesnut for well over a year. Ideally, I would like to stop dying my hair altogether and "love the grey", but I am not there yet. The stories that I have read from reviewers about serious reactions to Sanotint Light are horrifying. There are clearly different degrees of sensitivity to products, and different allergens and chemicals to which people react. I would like to say that I tried Sanotint Light after a serious reaction to a mainstream "natural" hair dye without ammonia. I have not had reactions to Sanotint Light, and I find it quite easy to use. I often mix only half the amount and touch up my roots. The reason I wanted to write a review is because you can't assume that you will react to it unless you try it. Obviously you should do a patch test first. But if you are struggling with your vanity as I am, and want to try something less toxic, it may be the solution for you.

im severely allergic to ppd. I switched from INOA to Sanotint after extensive online search. I bought Sanotint Light no 75 from Life Oharmacy, Dubai.

I felt immediate itching on the scalp upon application. After 35 minutes, my tongue had started swelling and I had to rush to the emergency. I could have had a disastrous ending this Saturday had it not been for the medical center within walking distance from my house.

Sanotint light has PPD.

I am hugely disappointed.

The doc has categorically stated that I cannot use any color on my hair now.

My chemical patch test also revealed that I am allergic to Henna.

I'm planning not to color my hair any more. (Even though I am hundred percent prematurely grey)

Any suggestions?

I used to have a very sensitive scalp and very dry, damaged hair. It would come out with handfulls and it started to freak me out- big time. I mean...who wouldnt freak out? I decided to give up on my favourite L'oreal products cuz I thought that maybe the chamicals in dyes, shampoos, masks etc are to blame. I started to look for a more natural and mild alternative and was recommended Sanotint products. I've been using them for 1,5 years now ( Sanotint Light, shampoos and masks)and it literally transformed my hair. Their products are quite hard to find in Uk.

I am allergic to PPD. I wanted to try this product because it states on the front of the box that it is PPD free. If you look under the ingredients on the top of the box it states in very small writing that it contains PPD. Had it patch tested at the dematologist. It caused my skin to blister!!! False advertising and definitely not PPD free!!! I think it is terrible that a company could be soo negligent advertising it's product as safe, when it is NOT SAFE AT ALL for people with ppd allergies!

Because of the fact that santo tint says they are ppd free which causes the reaction to the scalp, swelled eyes shut and sores/scabs all over my neck was a crock. I reacted the same like any other hair dye. Very discounted. Back to the drawing board for me. I have suffered for 10 years now and each time progressively it gets worse and worse. Thought this product would be good, however, I was wrong.

I have been using regular hair colours with out any reaction from last 10 years and but recently I had bad reaction. So I was exploring different options. I first tried without ammonia, but still had allergic reactions. Then tried another form of henna, but it just turns the hair colour into little brown colour after keeping for few hours and it's a pain to keep the henna for such a long time(usually I keep it for 2hrs). I haven't give up and I was keep browsing then I came across Sanotint Light. I did a 24h test and there was no reaction :) Of course, then I coloured my hair and let it go for 25 min and........it was perfect! No more grey hair and no reaction. I am writing this after 2 days of colouring, it looks very good with out any reaction!

I buy on vivasanwebshop.eu. They have good prices and very often useful presents

I've been using Sanotint since 2005, I think. I love it because it looks natural on hair and I noticed that the condition of my hair improves when I use Sanotint. I decided to right this review to let folks know that you don't have to pay a big price on Sanotint. You can get it for $13.97 at essentialoilcollection.com if you get their discount card which is free to get, but you have to place an order that qualifies you for a discount card (I think any order of 5 products qualifies you for one), just let them know that you want a discount card. You will have to pay a full price for your first order though. I hope this information will help someone.

Also I found a few new shades by mixing 2 or 3 shades together. It's awesome! I love it!

Tip: if you are allergic to chemicals make sure you use Sanotint light, I tried Sanotint Classic once and it has PPD in it, it gave me rash. I perform patch test almost every time I color my hair just to make sure it's not gonna cause a reaction.

Im highly allergic to PPD!! Were talking swollen eyes, weeping scalp and constant irriation. I came across this prodct and became very excited! NOT!! I MADE A POINT TO TEST THE PRODUCT ON MY INNER ARM...MINUTES LATER MY SKIN WAS ON FIRE. IT HAS BEEN 2 DAYS AND THE TEST AREA NOW HAS AN AWFUL RASH (RAISED SKIN) .....PLEASE TEST, TEST, TEST! WERE ALL DIFFERENT HOWEVER BE CAREFUL

I'm allergic to hair dyes and have always had a reaction to them. As I've been going greyer every year I thought I'd try this product as it doesn't contain PPD's. now I don't apply direct to my head I take large sections of hair and comb it on trying not to touch my scalp and ears. After applying I really liked the colour and showed no sign of a reaction. 3 days later I have severe burns and weeping around my hairline. Woke up this morning and both eyes are swollen to the point of closing. Been taking piriton to help with the itching and using an ice pack to try and reduce swelling. This is the worse reaction I have ever had. My advice stay well clear of this product, I coloured my hair cause I wanted to feel good now I look awful!!!! I shall be growing old gracefully from now on.

I bought this hair dye because of it's allergy description. "Extremely low risk." I developed a sudden allergy to hair dye after getting a tattoo and several people suggested this brand. I did a skin test and still didn't get an allergic reaction. I experienced an allergic reaction only after I had washed all of the dye out of my hair and it began to dry. My skin test spot even flared up. Now I've got hives all over my head. They're not as bad as they were with regular hair dye, but they're still there. I'm not sure why it took so long. It would all have been alright, but my I bought the black dye and it only tinted my hair darker, not black.
