Reported risk: According to the list of ingredients, the product contains Barium peroxide, which is forbidden in cosmetics and releases barium; the latter substance was found in the product (measured value: 18.1%). Barium can be easily absorbed and has toxic effects on the body impairing muscle, heart and kidney activity, leading to arrythmia, paralysis or gastrointestinal alterations.

Uncoupled PPD is an extreme skin sensitiser and can trigger allergic contact dermatitis.
