The product contains azo-dyes releasing the aromatic amines 3,3’-dimethoxybenzidine (measured concentration 224 mg/kg) and benzidine (measured concentration 140 mg/kg). When the product is in direct and prolonged contact with the skin, this aromatic amine may be absorbed by the skin. Aromatic amines can cause cancer, cell mutations and affect reproduction.
