Studies have shown that conventional oxidative (often called permanent) hair dye products contain numerous potent sensitizing hair dye substances (1–4), but little is known regarding the growing market of so-called organic or ‘natural’ alternatives. Our aim was to investigate the occurrence of contact allergens in hair dye products advertised as ‘organic’, ‘natural’, or similar, or used in hairdressing salons branded with such attributes.
