Safety Summary: BBlunt High Shine Conditioning Hair Colour Chocolate Dark Brown (3)
Is BBlunt High Shine Conditioning Hair Colour Chocolate Dark Brown (3) laboratory tested? Yes. It was independently tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre. The tested sample, from batch CN6H011, underwent chemical analysis of its colourant and developer components.
PPD Content. The colourant's PPD content was reported as 0.65% w/w in laboratory report 13054143/Z.
Colourant pH. The measured pH was 10.47, which is alkaline and within the report's customer specification of 9.00–11.00.
Developer pH. The measured pH of the developer was 4.32, within the report's customer specification of 2.50–4.50.

Understanding These Tests for BBlunt High Shine Conditioning Hair Colour Chocolate Dark Brown (3)
PPD Content
The laboratory reported PPD content as 0.65% w/w in the tested colourant sample.
PPD (para-phenylenediamine) is a hair-colouring ingredient that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. This report measures the PPD content but does not establish that the formulation is suitable for everyone.
Colourant pH
The tested colourant recorded a pH of 10.47. This indicates an alkaline formulation.
The measurement was performed under IS:8481:2005 and falls within the report's stated customer specification of 9.00–11.00.
Developer pH
The developer recorded a pH of 4.32. This measurement relates to the developer before mixing with the colourant.
The reported result is within the customer specification of 2.50–4.50.
Hydrogen Peroxide Assay
The laboratory measured hydrogen peroxide at 6.41% w/w in the developer sample.
This test records the peroxide content; it does not establish grey coverage or colour-retention performance.
Viscosity
The colourant viscosity was 638100 cps and the developer viscosity was 38670 cps under the specified laboratory test conditions.
Viscosity measures resistance to flow.
Foam Height
The developer recorded a foam height of 52 mm in a 2% solution.
This laboratory measurement does not independently demonstrate hair-colouring effectiveness.
