Para phenylenediamine

Para phenylenediamine is an ingredient used in permanent hair colorants.

Para phenylenediamine is an important constituent of hair dye toxicity of which one could herald fatal complications such as rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, angioneurotic edema, and respiratory failure. We present a case of hair dye poisoning that presented with respiratory distress due to laryngeal edema and later developed trismus, subclinical tetany, apnea, and conduction abnormality on electrocardiogram. This case report highlights the need for a thorough toxicological review of the components of any ingested substance.

Para phenylenediamine also called 1,4-diaminobenzene or 1,4-phenylenediamine, is an aromatic amine used as a component of engineering polymers and composites, aramid fibers, hair dyes, rubber chemicals, textile dyes and pigments. Para phenylenediamine is selected because of its low toxicity, high temperature stability, high strength, and chemical and electrical resistance.

This product is added to real henna or used alone to create black tattoo-like body art. This compound is used in almost every hair dye on the market, regardless of brand. The darker the colour, usually, the higher the concentration. Even the so-called "natural" and "herbal" hair colours, while ammonia-free, contain Para phenylenediamine. Some products sold as henna have Para phenylenediamine added, particularly "black henna". Using body art quality (BAQ) pure henna, or indigo is the only way to avoid Paraphenylenediamine in hair dye.

Para phenylenediamine is typically used in permanent hair colorants and is needed for almost all shades, but definitely for the darker shades. Almost all oxidative hair colorants contain a Para phenylenediamine type hair dye because they are the best way to achieve permanent hair colour and are the only way of successfully colouring grey hair.

Para phenylenediamine is also nowadays being combined with the traditional henna hair dyes to impart a darker and long-lasting color. Greater use of tattoos by the younger generation predisposes them to the risk of Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) sensitization at a younger age itself. PPD to the basic minimum level in hair dyes at the manufacturing level must be considered. PPD-free labeled hair dyes and vegetable-based hair dyes are perhaps the best practical solution to those exhibiting PPD sensitization. It is however very important to check for absence of PPD in the content list of some of the vegetable and so-called herbal hair dyes. Hair stylists and patients while applying hair dyes are advised to use gloves to prevent contact with skin of the hands.
