Is Eyebrow Tint Damaging?
Does tinting your eyebrows damage them? Usually, no. Eyebrow tinting is relatively safe, as long as there are no harmful chemicals used in the dye.

Why you should not tint your eyebrows?

The oxidizing agent causes the dye molecules to polymerize, or link together, to create intense shades. Is this safe? In a word - No. Oxidative dyes are reactive chemicals that can cause allergic reactions, painful rashes, blistering and even blindness.

Is it safe to dye my eyebrows?

Be aware of the risks.

No dye—even products marketed as eyebrow dye—is FDA approved for use on your eyebrows or eyelashes. You can have an allergic reaction or damage the sensitive skin around your eye. The dyes can cause irritation and, if they get in your eye, can potentially cause blindness.
