The product contains nickel (measured value 51.8 mg/kg). Nickel can cause skin irritation and induce sensitisation or elicit allergic responses. The Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, recommends that the content of nickeI in tattoo inks be as low as technically achievable. The product does not comply with national legislation.
The product contains nicotine yet the presence of nicotine is not adequately reported on the labelling. The bottle containing the mixture does not bear an adequate label; the user therefore has no information on the dangers incurred when the product comes into contact with the skin or if it is ingested. In addition, the product can be misleading for consumers as it refers to a drink both in respect of packaging and in terms of organoleptic characteristics, i.e. intense aroma of cocoa.
The liquid can leak when the bottle tips over due to a problem with the bottle-cap fastening, leading to a risk of eye damage as the product is classified as eye irritant and a risk of fire as it is a flammable substance. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
The product contains nickel (measured value 24 mg/kg). Nickel can cause skin irritation and induce sensitisation or elicit allergic responses. The Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, recommends that the content of nickel in inks for permanent make-up be as low as technically achievable. The product does not comply with the national legislation.
The product contains 10-20% 1-Ethylpyrrolidine-2-on, which is toxic to reproduction, and (R)-p-Mentha-1,8-diene, which is skin irritating, but it lacks the required labelling and warnings. The safety data sheet does not properly state the risks connected with the product, thus users are not sufficiently informed of the dangers of the product. The product does not comply with the REACH regulation and with the Regulation on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
The ink contains nickel (measured value: 22 mg/kg), arsenic (measured value: 6.8 mg/kg) and lead (measured value: 3.3 mg/kg). Nickel can cause skin irritation and induce sensitisation or elicit allergic responses, arsenic is carcinogenic and exposure to lead is harmful for human health and can cause developmental neurotoxicity.
The product contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)s, including benzo(a)pyrene (measured value benzo(a)pyrene: 0.2 mg/kg; total of PAHs: 29.5 mg/kg). Some PAHs are carcinogenic. Benzo(a)pyrene is a carcinogenic PAH. The Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, recommends that the level of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) does not exceed 0.005 mg/kg and the total amount of PAHs do not exceed 0.5 mg/kg. The product does not comply with the relevant national legislation.
The product contains the aromatic amine o-toluidine (measured value 48 mg/kg). Aromatic Amines can cause cancer, cell mutations and affect reproduction. The Council of Europe Resolution ResAP (2008)1 on requirements and criteria for the safety of tattoos and permanent make-up, recommends that aromatic amines with carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic or sensitising properties should neither be present in tattoos and permanent make-up products nor released from azo-colourants. The product does not comply with the national legislation.
