Choongwae Releases Eye-Irritation-Free Changpo N

Enjoys popularity among hair dye customers by removing ammonia, the substance blamed for irritating eyes and causing skin rashes

As a sultry summer ends, a cool fall has come during which people tend to go on more frequent outings, with an increasing number of people reaching for hair dyes to make them look younger. But the problem is that people with prematurely graying hair are reluctant to use hair dyes whose ingredients sometimes cause side effects, including eye pain and skin troubles. Choongwae Pharma Corp. has released a brand new hair dye called “Changpo N” to fix the woes related to hair coloring.
Wellbeing and environmental-friendliness have become the norm in the whole of society since a few years ago. The hair dye segment has been an exception. Dyes changing white hair to black must contain ammonia, a substance that causes dye users to suffer such inconveniences as irritated eyes and bad odors. Many people complain of irritated, sore eyes while dying their hair. There are also serious cases in which the user had to visit a hospital emergency room to be treated for severe eye pain.
AMMONIA, THE CAUSE OF EYE IRRITATION ― Prof. Chung Yoon-seok of Hallym University Medical Center Ophthalmology Department said hair dye flowing into the eyes could cause eyelash inflammation and even the loss of eyelashes. In this case, timely treatment may reduce pain in the eyes and recover eyesight. Those suffering from a damaged cornea could face big problems, which is especially serious for diabetics, he said.
The main culprit making hair dyes harmful to the eyes is ammonia, a representative chemical substance for swelling hair. Ammonia is a kind of minute molecule, making it easy to permeate into the surface of the head to cause trouble. Inhaling the substance could damage the lungs, doctors said.
Things have changed in the hair dye segment as hair dyes produced with environmentally friendly raw materials and natural extracts have recently begun to make their debuts.
Changpo N is enjoying popularity because the new hair-coloring product is made with amino acid protein substituting for the troublesome ammonia to minimize its negative side effects.
The latest gel-type hair dye is recognized for not flowing down the head and face, so as not to affect the scalp and the eyes. Such natural substances as sweet flag extracts, phytoncide and collagen are added to protect the scalp and hair. The addition of aromatic oils emits a good herbal smell, allowing dye customers to use the product indoors without opening windows.
Choongwae has focused on minimizing the side effects of hair dyes by removing ammonia, the substance blamed for not only damaging the hair and scalp, but also irritating eyes and causing skin inflammations, company officials said.
Changpo N, priced at 12,000 won, comes in eight varieties.
