Safety data
Accredited data under the Melanoir Black name is still being collected. Black and Embo are built on the same melanin base — nothing else added, no synthetic pigments — so results obtained under the Melanoir Embo name are offered here as a composition reference only.
The accredited results published on our quality page under the Melanoir Embo name cover heavy metals, preservatives, formaldehyde, PAHs and sterility. We would rather not state figures for Black ahead of its own testing.
