Based on the information provided, the SCCP is of the opinion that the use of N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine sulfate itself as an oxidative hair dye substance at a maximum concentration of 2.5% in the finished cosmetic product (after mixing with hydrogen peroxide) does not pose a risk to the health of the consumer, apart from its sensitising potential.
2.5% (oxidative hair dye, after mixing with hydrogen peroxide)
Apart from sensitising potential; tertiary amine prone to nitrosation, should not be used with nitrosating substances, nitrosamine content < 50 ppb; genotoxicity/mutagenicity studies in finished formulations required.
