Understanding These Tests for BBlunt High Shine Conditioning Hair Colour Natural Black (1)
PPD Content
The laboratory measured PPD at 0.74% w/w in the tested Natural Black colourant sample.
PPD (para-phenylenediamine) is an oxidative hair-colour ingredient. It may cause allergic reactions in some people, so the measured result should not be interpreted as proof of suitability for every individual.
Colourant pH
The tested colourant recorded a pH of 9.26. This is an alkaline measurement for the colourant component before mixing.
The method referenced in the laboratory report is IS:8481:2005.
Developer pH
The developer recorded a pH of 4.28. This result concerns the separate developer sample, not the final mixture applied to hair.
Hydrogen Peroxide Assay
Hydrogen peroxide was measured at 6.70% w/w in the developer. The result records the tested developer's peroxide content and does not independently demonstrate grey coverage or colour longevity.
Viscosity
The colourant viscosity was 1,258,000 cps, and the developer viscosity was 6,276 cps under their respective test conditions.
Viscosity describes resistance to flow and is measured separately for each component.
Foam Height
The developer recorded a foam height of 58 mm in a 2% solution. This result documents a laboratory measurement rather than a cosmetic-performance outcome.

View ProductFrequently Asked Questions
A: Yes. The colourant and developer from batch CN5L009 were tested at Sigma Test & Research Centre. Report 13044751/Z records chemical parameters including PPD content, pH, viscosity, hydrogen peroxide assay and developer foam height.
A: The laboratory reported PPD content at 0.74% w/w in the tested colourant sample. The measurement applies to batch CN5L009 and does not establish suitability for every individual. This product should not be described as PPD-free.
A: The tested colourant pH was 9.26, and the developer pH was 4.28. These are separate component measurements before the products are mixed for application.
A: The developer's hydrogen peroxide assay was 6.70% w/w, as documented in Sigma Test & Research Centre report 13044751/Z.
A: No. The report documents chemical measurements, not grey coverage or colour longevity. Those outcomes require separate performance evidence and should not be inferred from a PPD, pH or hydrogen peroxide measurement.
A: The official Natural Black product description references a dermatological patch-test certificate under protocol C3B04977. It reports the studied product as Dermatologically Safe for use and Non-Irritant under the study conditions. This does not guarantee that no individual will develop an allergic reaction.
A: No. Report 13044751/Z contains colourant and developer chemical-testing results. Heavy-metal and microbiological test results are not part of this report.
A: No. NABL accredits laboratories rather than individual products. The laboratory report identifies Sigma Test & Research Centre, but no NABL accreditation number or ULR is stated in this report.
