Is EcoColors Haircolor a natural color?

EcoColors Haircolor does contain many botanical ingredients, but it is not a totally botanical hair color. In order for any hair color to be permanent, oxidative dyes must be present. As far as we know, there is not a permanent hair color on the market that is totally botanical. EcoColors Haircolor has been created with non-toxic in mind but it is not a "cure all" for all allergies and just because it has many natural ingredients, it does not mean it is hypoallergenic.
