Phosphorescent hair coloring
Hello everybody !
I would like to formulate a phosphorescent hair coloring .I already have the hair coloring (finished product).I would have to formulate a phosphorescent base to be mixed in my hair coloring to make it phosphorescent.Have you some ideas? A raw supplier?Thank you -

I’m pretty sure that doing this in the US would be illegal.

I am in Europa and there are already on the market some phosphorescent hair coloring.

@ celine13009 - if you have a benchmark post the inci list.

I don’t succeed to find the INCI list :

@ celine13009 in that case I would start with buying the products and look what is inside. INCI names are mandatory on cosmetic products

doped zinc sulphide (the pigment originally used in glow-in-the-dark paint, now generally superseded) is phosphorescent and has a recognised INCI name, though it’s not listed on Annex IV, and you’ll struggle to find a cosmetic grade
there are also a few dyes and lakes which are fluorescent under UV lights, mostly the xanthene type, though interestingly, at least one of them (fluorescein) has been explicitly banned from hair dyes - see Annex II/1332

Just because something is on the market doesn’t mean that it is legal.
