Custom Hair Dyeing Formulations Manufacturer
What This Hair Dyeing Formula Solves
Uneven lift, fast wash-fade, brassiness, and harsh odor come from uncontrolled alkalization, hard-water metals, and brittle films that roughen cuticles. Our system delivers target-true shade + long-wear vibrancy via optimized alkalizers, precise developer pairing, mineral control, and flexible post-color sealing. Low-sulfate cleansers and acidic care reduce dye leach; antioxidants and optional UV filters protect chromophores; heat primers limit thermal yellowing. We calibrate for permanent, demi, semi, direct, and lightening needs across fine to coarse textures, supporting gray coverage, dark-to-light transitions, fashion vivids, and gloss refresh. From cream colors and clay lighteners to toners, sealers, and anti-brass maintenance, your range achieves salon-grade results while remaining silicone-optional, fragrance-flexible, and compliant across markets.
Hair Dyeing Formula
1.Shade Accuracy & Gray Coverage
On standardized swatches, quantify ΔE* vs. target swatch after color service and report % gray coverage at roots and lengths. Our optimized alkalizer/developer matrix (ammonia or MEA with calibrated H₂O₂) enables predictable lift and deposition, while chelation reduces metal-catalyzed variance. Include panel grading for uniformity, scalp feel, and odor perception; communicate “target-true results” with confidence intervals across levels 3–10 and resistant gray segments.
2. Fade Resistance & Tone Stability
Track Lab* changes over 5–10 washes and under UVA/heat exposure (blow-dry/iron cycles). Acidic post-color sealing compacts cuticles; anti-fade films limit dye diffusion; antioxidants/optional UV filters reduce oxidation. Report ΔE* improvement vs. control plus 60° gloss retention and halo reduction to link smoother surfaces with brighter tone in real humidity and hard water conditions.
3. Fiber Integrity After Dyeing
Assess tensile strength, wet/dry comb force, and tip cohesion pre/post service and after multiple washes. Lamellar conditioners, quat-functional proteins, and light carriers (hemisqualane) preserve slip while avoiding reweighting. Present Δ comb-force decline and % strength retention; emphasize “strong, smooth feel” compatible with frequent styling and color-refresh regimens.
Key Hair Dyeing Actives & Technologies
Controlled alkalization + precise oxidation + color lock: Alkalizers swell the cuticle for dye entry; H₂O₂ develops oxidative dyes; couplers/precursors form chromophores; chelators manage metals; acidic sealing + flexible films reduce leach; antioxidants/UV filters (where allowed) protect tone; conditioners restore glide.

Monoethanolamine (MEA) — Customization Details for Hair Dyeing (Permanent/Oxidative) Formulas
INCI & CAS
INCI: Ammonium Hydroxide (CAS 1336-21-6) / Ammonia (CAS 7664-41-7); Monoethanolamine (Ethanolamine, MEA) (CAS 141-43-5). Alkalizing agents that raise pH to swell cuticle, promote dye precursor penetration, and activate peroxide for color formation; MEA is a lower-odor ammonia alternative. (CIR safety assessments; EU regulatory context.) (cir-safety.org)
Role in Hair Dyeing Efficacy
Cuticle lift + dye formation kinetics. Ammonia/Ammonium Hydroxide provides fast, volatile alkalization for uniform gray coverage and high lift; MEA provides slower, less volatile alkalization useful for odor-reduced systems but may reside longer in fiber. Choice affects shade depth, lift, and post-wash feel; chelators (e.g., EDTA/HEDP) and surfactant micelles tune performance. (Mechanism & comparative studies.) (PMC)
Typical Use Levels (formulation custom guide)
Ammonium Hydroxide (in ready-to-use mix): typically 0.5–6% (as solution; often referenced ≤6% upper design target in RTU oxidative dyes).
MEA (in colorant or alkalizer part before mixing): commonly 3–15% in alkalizer component to reach ~1–5% in RTU mix, depending on desired pH (~9.0–10.5).
pH targets: ~9–10.5 for permanent color; adjust for developer strength and substrate. Validate fiber swelling, shade ΔE, and gray-coverage %.
Notes: Real-world ranges vary by system; many authorities and templates cite ammonium hydroxide ≤6% RTU; MEA usage in hair colors can be higher pre-mix but remains rinse-off. (UK CPNP template; patent and CIR usage data.) (submit.cosmetic-product-notifications.service.gov.uk)
Regulatory Sources & Global Compliance
- EU Cosmetics Reg. Annex III (hair colorant labelling): mandatory warnings (e.g., wear suitable gloves, mixing ratio, not for eyelashes/eyebrows, allergy risk text). Check the specific hair dye substances in the formula against Annex III limits; alkalizers support these systems. (UK Leg)
- CIR Expert Panel: Ammonia/Ammonium Hydroxide are safe as used in hair dyes when formulated to be non-irritating; MEA (ethanolamine) safe for rinse-off cosmetics when non-irritating and not used in contexts where nitrosamines may form. (cir-safety.org)
- Regional annexes (ASEAN examples): reinforce Annex III hair dye warnings and limits for oxidative dye substances; follow local wording and PAA text. (HSA)
Clinical/Performance Evidence (coverage, damage, sensorials)
- MEA vs Ammonia (fiber damage): Controlled testing (FTIR cysteic acid, SEM, protein loss) showed higher cumulative damage with MEA-based systems vs ammonia (up to ~85% in extreme cases) due to residency/reactivity differences. (PubMed)
- MEA odor/profile: Ammonia-free permanent dyes using MEA report reduced odor with acceptable performance in clinical/user assessments when systems are optimized. (Wiley Online Library)
- Color depth vs alkalizer strength: Higher ammonium hydroxide in model systems correlated with darker shades at constant conditions, illustrating alkalizer-driven kinetics. (PMC)
Safety & Risk Assessment (toxicology highlights)
Irritation/corrosivity is pH- and dose-dependent. Formulate to be non-irritating; for aerosols/sprays, control droplet size/inhalation. For MEA, avoid nitrosating agents; ensure nitrosamine levels are as low as reasonably achievable and follow regional guidance (many Annex III dye entries cap ≤50 µg/kg for nitrosamines). Strictly rinse-off use for MEA. (CIR; regional Annex III examples.) (cir-safety.org)
Stability & Packaging
Two-part systems (alkalizer + developer). Use vented caps/compatible resins (e.g., HDPE/PP) tolerant to high pH and peroxide; maintain chelators to minimize metal-catalyzed shade drift. Validate shade repeatability, viscosity, peroxide stability, pH hold, and stress (heat/transport). Include consumer directions aligned with Annex III warnings. (Regulatory templates & mechanism reviews.) (UK Leg)
Cost–Benefit
Ammonia: High lift/coverage, volatile (rinses/vents out) but odor-noticeable; generally efficient at lower use-levels. MEA: Lower odor marketing, potentially smoother feel initially, but may require higher dosage/longer contact, with risk of greater cumulative fiber damage if not optimized—thus chelator/surfactant design and post-dye care are key. (Comparative data + mechanism.) (PubMed)

Hydrogen Peroxide — Customization Details for Hair Dyeing (Permanent/Oxidative) Formulas
INCI & CAS
INCI: Hydrogen Peroxide · CAS: 7722-84-1. Core oxidizing agent/developer in oxidative hair color that drives melanin oxidation and dye-polymer formation; listed in CosIng with functions including OXIDISING (and ANTIMICROBIAL/ORAL CARE in other categories). (CosIng ingredient entry; Annex reference III/12.) (European Commission)
Role in Hair Dyeing Efficacy
Developer for lift + dye coupling. In the alkaline color system, H₂O₂ (stabilized) permeates the fiber, lightens melanin and oxidizes primary intermediates/couplers into large chromophores. Kinetics depend on developer strength (vol%), pH, alkalizer (ammonia/MEA), chelators, and time/temperature—impacting gray coverage, lift, and fastness. (Mechanism overviews; kinetic/structure–damage literature.) (PubMed)
Typical Use Levels (formulation custom guide)
Developer strengths (RTU): ~3% (10 vol) toning/deposit; 6% (20 vol) standard permanent & gray coverage; 9% (30 vol) lift; 12% (40 vol) high-lift/bleach.
pH targets (system): typically ~9.0–10.5 with alkalizer; mix ratios 1:1–1:2 (colorant:developer) by brand system.
Performance validation: track ΔE/CIELAB, gray-coverage %, wash fastness, breakage/comb force vs. developer strength.

(EUR-Lex)
p-Toluenediamine (PTD) / p-Toluenediamine Sulfate (PTDS) — Customization Details for Hair Dyeing (Permanent/Oxidative) Formulas
INCI & CAS
INCI: Toluene-2,5-diamine (p-Toluenediamine, PTD) · CAS (free base): 95-70-5 · INCI: Toluene-2,5-diamine sulfate (PTDS) · CAS (sulfate): 615-50-9 (1:1) / 6369-59-1 (1:x). EC: 202-442-1 (free base), 210-431-8 / 228-871-4 (sulfate). Primary oxidative hair dye intermediate used with couplers under alkaline/peroxide conditions. (SCCS identity section; Annex III context.) (European Commission)
Role in Hair Dyeing Efficacy
Primary intermediate for shade build + gray coverage. In alkaline pH with H₂O₂, PTD/ PTDS oxidizes and couples to form larger chromophores, enabling natural-looking browns/darks, gray coverage, and tone direction. Performance depends on alkalizer (ammonia/MEA), developer strength, chelation, and process time/temperature. (Mechanism/kinetics overviews; regulatory dossiers.) (European Commission)
Typical Use Levels (formulation custom guide)
On-head (after mixing, oxidative conditions): up to 2.0% (as free base) or 3.6% (as sulfate) in many jurisdictions.
Colorant part (before mixing): higher nominal % to reach on-head max after mixing with developer (e.g., 1:1–1:2 mix ratios).
System targets: pH ~9.0–10.5 with alkalizer; validate ΔE/CIELAB, gray-coverage %, wash fastness, and scalp comfort.
Notes: Limits are “as applied to hair” after mixing; always verify local Annex text and warnings language. (European Commission)
Regulatory Sources & Global Compliance
- EU Cosmetics Regulation — Annex III (Entry 9a): Toluene-2,5-diamine / sulfate permitted only in oxidative hair dyes; after mixing max 2.0% (free base)/3.6% (sulfate); not for eyelashes/eyebrows; include glove and other standard hair-color warnings. (EUR-Lex)

- CIR Expert Panel: PTD/PTDS safe as used in hair dyes within present practices/concentrations; extreme skin sensitizer; avoid non-hair color uses. (journals.sagepub.com)
Clinical/Performance Evidence (coverage, allergy, cross-reactivity)
- Allergic contact dermatitis risk: SCCS labels PTD an extreme skin sensitiser; consumer/hairdresser allergy remains a safety concern. (European Commission)
- Cross-reactivity with PPD: Patch-test analyses show most PTD reactors also react to PPD (≈ 5 in 6 cases), limiting alternatives for PPD-allergic users. (PubMed)
- Under-recognition of PTDS allergy: 2025 review highlights PTDS as “Allergen of the Year”, noting under-screening in many panels. (liebertpub.com)
Safety & Risk Assessment (toxicology highlights)
SCCS systemic-safety conclusion at lower max: Using toxicokinetics-based MoS, on-head 2.0% (free base) / 3.6% (sulfate) is safe for systemic toxicity; however sensitization potency remains high. Ensure rinse-off, no eyelash/eyebrow use, glove use, and robust PIF/CPSR. (Consider nitrosamine controls only as relevant to amines in broader systems.) (European Commission)
Stability & Packaging
Two-part oxidative systems: keep PTD/PTDS in the alkaline colorant separate from peroxide developer; specify chelators (EDTA/HEDP) to reduce metal-catalyzed drift; use HDPE/PP with vented caps; validate shade repeatability, pH hold, viscosity, peroxide compatibility, and transport/heat stress. Follow Annex III directions and IFU specifics. (EUR-Lex)
Cost–Benefit
Workhorse primary intermediate enabling broad brown/dark shade maps and high gray coverage with predictable kinetics. Marketing as “PPD-alternative” must be balanced: PTD/PTDS show significant cross-reactivity with PPD; any tolerability gains are user-dependent. Optimize with bond-builders, lipid/protein repair, and after-care to manage oxidation damage perceptions. (PubMed)
Claims Language (Do/Don’t)

More Hair Dyeing product customization instructions and FAQs
Formula Efficacy Introduction: Our hair dye formulation portfolio spans both natural hair coloring and permanent hair dyeing to meet diverse market and consumer needs. From gentle, plant-derived coloring solutions to high-performance permanent color technology that penetrates the hair, we focus on delivering vibrant results while maintaining hair health. The natural hair coloring formulas offer a safe, low-irritation coloring experience that nourishes the hair even as it covers gray, whereas the permanent dye formulas prioritize outstanding color longevity and coverage, achieving a complete color change from the roots with long-lasting effects. With carefully balanced formulation strategies, our hair coloring solutions not only impart the desired shades and shine to hair but also minimize damage, allowing consumers to attain beautiful color without compromising hair integrity. For brands, this means the flexibility to launch products emphasizing natural safety or high efficacy, and succeed in both segments of the hair color market.
Key ingredients and technologies for anti-frizz care:
- Natural Hair Coloring: Our natural hair coloring formulations center on a clever blend of plant-based dyes and herbal extracts. The primary coloring agents are botanical powders such as henna and indigo, which contain natural pigments (like lawsone in henna) that bind to the hair’s surface to impart semi-permanent color in a gentle mannerphcogres.com. To enrich the hue and efficacy, we often include extracts like coffee, tea, or chamomile – these not only help deepen or adjust the shade but also provide antioxidant and conditioning benefits. A host of Ayurvedic herbs (e.g. amla, sappan wood, hibiscus) may be incorporated as well to promote scalp health and strengthen the hair. These purely herbal formulations contain no para-phenylenediamine (PPD) or peroxide, resulting in very low irritation. Consumers can thus color their hair while enjoying botanical nourishment – our natural dyes not only change hair color but also act as treatments that stimulate growth and provide nutritional reinforcement to the hairphcogres.com.
- Permanent Hair Dyeing: Our permanent hair dye formulations leverage advanced chemical coloring systems to achieve deep, long-lasting color changes. The core components are small oxidative dye precursors (such as p-phenylenediamine, PPD, or its alternatives) which, in the presence of an alkalizing agent in the formula (usually ammonia or monoethanolamine), open the cuticle and then react with a developer (hydrogen peroxide) to form large color molecules inside the hair cortextheorganicsolution.wordpress.com. This oxidation dye mechanism gives permanent hair color its excellent gray coverage and resistance to fading. Equally, we place great importance on gentleness: we mitigate irritation and allergy risks by measures like using MEA instead of ammonia and formulating with PPD-free dye derivatives when possiblepubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Nourishing additives (e.g. plant oils, amino acids, keratin) are included to protect the hair structure during the coloring process, minimizing dryness or breakage. Overall, the active ingredient system in our permanent dyes strikes a balance between vibrant, enduring color and hair safety, ensuring gorgeous results with minimal damage to the hair and scalp.
Recommended Products to Develop: In the hair coloring category, we advise brands to develop two lines of products: a natural herbal dye range and a professional permanent dye range. For natural coloring, you can launch all-natural plant dye powders or creams – for example, a henna/indigo herbal hair dye kit that consumers mix and apply at home. Such kits can include gloves and a cap for convenience. Additionally, a ready-to-use herbal color cream could be developed, pre-blending botanical dyes with a nourishing base, touting claims like “no chemical additives” and safe for pregnant women. Complement this with a post-color herbal conditioner or hair mask to lock in color and impart extra care. For permanent coloring, consider developing a salon-grade hair color cream line offering a wide palette of shades (dozens of tones) along with matching developers of various strengths (e.g. 6%, 9% peroxide) to accommodate different coloring needs. This line should come with a standardized shade chart and detailed usage instructions for professional stylists. You may also introduce a consumer-friendly permanent color kit containing the color cream, developer, gloves, and instructions – emphasizing low-ammonia formulas and hair-conditioning ingredients to appeal to safety-conscious users. With both the natural and permanent dye product lines, your brand can cover the full spectrum of market needs, from gentle tinting to dramatic color transformation.
Customer Success Story: We have helped clients succeed in both segments of the hair dye market. One client, an organic beauty brand, wanted to launch a natural plant-based hair coloring product to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. We collaborated to develop an herbal dye kit that used henna, indigo, and other botanicals to effectively cover light gray hairs. Free of any synthetic dyes or harsh chemicals, the product was very well received after launch – many users reported that their hair felt soft and glossy after coloring, with no scalp irritation. Thanks to its gentle, authentic reputation, this company successfully carved out a niche in the natural hair color market. In another case, an international salon chain sought to upgrade its permanent hair dye line to reduce client irritation complaints. We provided a custom ammonia-free, low-sensitization dye formula, replacing ammonia with MEA, utilizing PPD alternative dyes, and adding conditioning agents like aloe vera and keratin. This upgraded formula delivered the same vibrant color results while dramatically cutting down on odor and scalp irritation. After trialing it in select salons, the feedback was that the coloring process felt more comfortable and client satisfaction improved. The salon brand rolled out the new dye line across its global locations, marketing it as “gentle yet high-performance.” This not only enhanced the brand’s professional image but also boosted customer loyalty.
Q: Can natural hair dyes really cover gray hair, and how long do the colors last?
A: Natural dyes can provide good coverage for light or early-stage grays. Formulations using henna and indigo, for example, impart shades like auburn or dark brown that blend and camouflage a moderate amount of gray. However, since they don’t contain strong oxidizers, natural color is generally semi-permanent – it typically lasts about 4–6 weeks in the hair and will gradually fade with washing. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain vibrancy. For a high percentage of gray hair, multiple applications might be needed to achieve the desired depth of coverage.
Q: Do permanent hair dyes severely damage the hair? How do you reduce harm to hair quality when coloring?
A: Traditional permanent dyes can cause some damage, since components like ammonia and PPD may lift the cuticle and weaken the hair or irritate the scalppubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. But our formulations use improved technologies to greatly minimize these effects. We use low-ammonia or ammonia-free systems (substituting harsh ammonia with gentler MEA) and gentler dye precursors, plus we infuse protective nutrients to condition the hair during coloring. Thus we achieve long-lasting color while keeping hair damage to a minimum. In our tests, hair retains good strength and shine after using our dyes, and proper post-color care can further ensure the hair stays healthy.
Q: How many color options can you provide, and can we customize unique shades?
A: Our permanent dye range can be offered in a wide spectrum of shades – typically each major color family (black, brunette, blonde, red, etc.) includes multiple levels and tonal variations, totaling dozens of standard colors. For your brand, we also support creating custom signature shades. Our lab has the capability to formulate and test new color blends; you can provide target color samples and we will adjust the dye mix to precisely achieve that hue, all while meeting safety standards. Whether you need off-the-shelf shades or exclusive custom colors, we can flexibly accommodate your requirements.
Q: How can we prove long-wear color?
A: Run ΔE* colorimetry across 5–10 washes and UVA/heat cycles, plus 60° gloss and comb-force. Present swatch photos and statistics on PDPs and salon sheets to translate lab data into consumer benefits.
Q: What packaging improves stability and user experience?
A: Developer-safe bottles, oxygen-barrier tubes, dual-chamber sachets for toners, and low-drip creams with precision nozzles. Add shade maps, gloves, and clear patch-test/processing instructions for at-home kits. Use PCR and recycle cues to support “clean-lean” positioning.
