Hair dye
Hair dyes usually contain such a substance as ammonia. It is advisable to look for those in which it is not. However, the bad news is that now there are virtually none left. Almost all paints contain toxic substances, among which are, in particular, PPD, resorcinol and toluene. They are considered toxic. PPD, which are particularly often found in the dark paint, easily penetrate through the skin.
