At the moment, all countries in Europe have their own rules and guidelines for the production of pigments and tattoo inks. Europe wants all countries to work according to one directive, so that the same rules apply everywhere with regard to pigment and tattoo ink production. These new regulations called REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) will affect the production of the pigments. The amounts and composition of ingredients in these pigments will have to be adjusted. The use of, among other things, iron oxide in pigments is then no longer permitted. In other words, the recipe must be adjusted.
No, iron oxide pigments are not dangerous and have also been used for years in the permanent make-up industry. The use of iron oxide pigments has never led to allergic reactions, but due to the new regulations, other requirements for the production process of the composition.
From January 2022 you can still buy the pigments of your favorite brands. The brands we offer will all come with an alternative line this autumn / from 1 January that fully complies with the new REACH requirements. However, in some cases the shade of the color will be slightly adjusted due to the new "recipe". Some colors will disappear from the range and in other cases you will not see a difference in shade or color.
What is important to you and to us is that our suppliers are aware of the regulations and are working on them. Perma Blend (including Tina Davies & Brow Daddy), Artyst and Ever After are all adjusting the current composition of the pigments so that all pigments comply with the new European regulations in the new year.
As your supplier, we will monitor and communicate the messages, regulations and information. Transparency is important so that everyone knows where he or she stands.
We offer pigments and materials in our webshop that fully comply with REACH regulations at the moment it comes into effect.
