Safety data
Reference only — not Black's own 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.
This page states specifications, not certified test results. Any test data referenced here was obtained under specific test conditions and may differ by individual skin type or working environment. Melanoir complies with Korea's Hygiene Products Control Act and recommends correct use by professionals. Healed color may vary with skin tone and working depth. How Melanoir Black behaves over time is what we are still gathering data on — we recommend starting with a patch test and a small piece.
