They at least have the decency to give an ingredient list and it would not touch my skin

They give the caution that some people are allergic and list the
following ingredients at the bottom of the page for the $650 (oh my
god) kit. Here it is.

Ingredients
henna 50%, ethyl cellulose, carmine, PARA PHENYLEDIAMINE, titanium
dioxide, iron oxide.

I would strongly recommend checking out the picture on the Warning
page before spending so damn much money. (click link at top of page)
The para phenylediamine or ppd is what causes the awful chemical
burns on some people. I am glad they at least own up to what is in
their product if you read their web page thoroughly but I still feel
they are irresponsible to sell it. Since they appear to be operating
out of France it seems like it would be very hard to hold them
responsible since they disclaim their product, give ingredients, and
would leave you wondering how to persue any claim in a foreign
country. Let the buyer beware.
