A NEW TESTIMONIAL
February 2012
After much swelling, itching and the taking of too many antihistamines, I’ve finally found a product that colors my grey hair without me experiencing some type of allergic reaction. The nights spent with my head in a pot of vinegar water to leech the dye from my scalp are over.
I feel much more at ease with dying my hair knowing that I’m using a product is safe. Now I can use my vinegar just for my salads.
Yippee!
Thanks Sanotint

I just wanted to let you know that I tried the Sanotint Natural Brown haircolor for the first time and I was extremely impressed! To be truthful I was prepared to be disappointed (concerned about gray coverage) but after using it my gray hair is completely covered, the color is beautiful, my hair feels very soft and looks shiny, and most importantly I experienced absolutely no itching or discomfort while the color was processing. Please be advised that I have never been moved to contact a company regarding a product prior to this and I only wish I knew Italian so I could rave about this color in 2 languages! Thank you for saving my hair and my scalp! Anne
Great color. Great Product.
“Hi, have tried this product for the first time as I cannot use ppd in my hair my hairdresser was so impressed with the coverage to my greys. Excited that hopefully I have finally found your wonderful chemical free product and can color my hair once again knowing no skin rashes and swelling to my face. Thank you so very much. Have just placed another order for 10 with express post. Last time arrival was also fantastic had it within a week and a half. will continue to purchase this product for many years to come.

About a year ago, after coloring my long, very dark brown hair for over 30 years, I suffered a severe allergic reaction. I could not stop scratching my head, my ears, any place that the hair dye came in contact with my skin. It was awful; I had to see my doctor who prescribed anti-biotics and steroids. After doing research on the internet, I discovered that I was most likely allergic to PPD, a chemical found in nearly all dark hair dyes. I stopped dyeing my hair with professional hair products and found several all-natural hair dyes on the internet. They all professed to color stubborn, resistant grey hair. No product worked until La Vita Nuova. I ordered 2 chestnut brown packages and was told to leave the dye on until no grey hair could be found. I left the product on for over 2 hours and after washing the dye out, I did not have one single grey hair!
I am absolutely delighted with the softness of my hair. It doesn't feel dry and looks very natural.
I am 55 years-old and without all the grey hair, people say I look younger than 50!
Thank you so much for your outstanding product. I would and will recommend me it to anyone suffering from PPD allergy who must use a hair dye formula that doesn't include PPD.
Sincerely yours,

"I have been blessed to always have really dark, black hair. I began to color for those grays that were appearing and in this process realized I am highly allergic to PPD found in hair color. Each time I colored my hair the allergic reaction got worse, until finally my entire scalp was "peeling from my head" as the emergency room doctor told me. At that time, I knew I was going to have to go gray gracefully....not an option. Begin wearing wigs...hot and irritating or research other products. I chose the later.
I have used several products that contain no PPD but never achieved the results I was looking for. Some of these products required me to set under a hot dryer for an hour to set color in. The color never penetrating the hair shaft. It only put a coating over hair. I began playing tennis and this led to sweating lots over the summer....all hair color stripped completely. I couldn't go into pool as this would have stripped color completely as well.
I hesitated on trying your product as the darkest color is natural brown. It sat on my shelf for a year. As I was about to give up hope, I relooked at your product. I had my hair stylist apply for me and was extremely thrilled to not have to sit under a dryer for 1 hour. I sat for a half hour with cap on and nervous if it was going to work.
It has been 2 weeks and my color looks just as great as the day your product was applied. My hair washes out clear with no color stripping each time. Sweating or swimming will not strip the color. I feel as though I have my summer back. The color is a beautiful dark brown and I love it.
Thank you so much for making a product that truly works. I will be a lifetime customer".

“I am happy with your coloring products. Even a trace of PPD makes me itch for a month and so you have a customer for as long as I can color my own hair. At 74 years of age that gives me about twenty years. My mother lived to be 93. The color I am using and note it does not have any trace of PPD in it. It looks very pretty and I get a lot of compliments on the color ” .

Dear La Vita Nuova Inc., I will go on and on about SANOTINT did for me. Wait until you see the pictures of me, before on my way to the emergency room for medical treatment (and not the first time) from a terrible allergic reaction to a hair dye containing PPD, it shows my eyes shut and swollen from neck to scalp. Also you will find a photo of me with my trade-mark beautiful hair, thanks to SANOTINT. It’s nothing short of a miracle product. Not even an itchy scalp afterwards! I still can’t believe it!

Just tried Sanotint ligth the first time and it worked!! I have had hair dye allergies all of my life,so very excited to have found your site. You are the best priced too!
For 10 years I sadly watched the grays grow on my dark brown hair. I have a terrible allergy to all hair dyes and found that the culprit was the ingredient PPD
After two trips to the emergency room and missed days of work while my itching and burning scalp healed, I realized I would have to give up and grow old naturally. I even tried other Hennas that were PPD free. I found my scalp and head were dried out horribly and the grays were barely covered. Then one day while I was reading great reviews on Sanotint Light I decided to give it a try. I was so excited when I took the towel off my hair and discovered my grays were gone! I was ecstatic when I dried my hair and felt how soft it was! No itching or burning scalp! No allergic reaction of any type! Thank you Sanotint Light. You have me feeling young again!”

After developing a severe allergic reaction to the chemical PPD, I thought that I was destined for a life of gray hair even though I was only 36 years old at the time. Because of the severe inflammation and irritation, I even began loosing my hair. After hours and hours of research, I came across SANOTINT Light, a PPD free permanent hair color. I was delighted. I was even more delighted after the first use. It left me with a beautiful, permanent color, with absolutely no allergic reaction and no grays! When I shared this with my hairdresser, she was stunned to find that a PPD free hair dye even existed. I have been able to recommend your amazing product to two other acquaintances who had similar reactions to hair dye containing PPD. Your product gives hope to women like me who are not yet ready to give in to the gray, but can't use other permanent hair dyes. Thank you for all the research and innovation that must have gone in to developing this amazing product. I am always thankful to see companies thinking outside the box. Great job!

Hi, You sent me some info at one point several yrs back about getting some local stores to carry the hair dyes. I've at times tried several natural hair dyes to save some money & haven't found them to be satisfactory! So I think I could now positively tell the local health food stores my experience & maybe get them to try them. So how would I go about doing that?

My name is Dana Stewart and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I am writing you because I wanted you to know how thankful I am to have found your Sanotint Light hair dye. I have always had allergic reactions to hair color and bleach. I have had several bad reactions and a few times ended up in the emergency rooms. I have used products that say they are gentle, natural, no ammonia, etc... But never ever have I found anything that I did not have a reaction to. That is to say not until I searched the world over and found Cosval’s Sanotint light with no P-PHENYLENDIAMINE. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! and my husband thanks you too. He had a hard time watching me go thru the ordeal of being ill if I dare color my hair, even if they foiled it not touching my scalp I still had reactions. I no longer am scared that I might have the allergic reaction of the past. NO ITCHING, NO HIVES, NO SWELLING, NO STERIODS, NO DOCTORS. The colors are absolutely wonderful, so rich and the shine is stunning. My hair feels great and the color last and last, the most fragrant clean smell no chemical smell. I had my hair dresser apply the product after she made contact with you guys and you gave her great recommendation, so we mixed a few colors and it turned out great. She fell in love with this product and will continue to use it and recommend it. I recommend this product for everyone with or without some kind of allergic reaction. My hair has never been in better condition. I am now purchasing your conditioners and silk mask and they are amazing. Its sad that the USA doesn’t have products that compare. As long as I have hair I will always be a loyal and thankful customer. Now I can even apply it at home.
Always
P.S.
I want to try and get my favorite health stores to carry this product. I will be a walking ad for your company. The world of hair doesn’t have to be so toxic anymore

"What can I say. So far the result is far better that I had dreamed of ! Just a quick review. I was so anxious to try it, I only did the patch test for one day. No reaction so far! I applied the product, and the Grey coverage is unbelievable! I am now just hoping for no reaction, and I don't believe there will be one. You and your product have solved my 6 year old problem."

"Thank you for all your help and great service. I stopped dyeing my hair for a while as I used a chemical on it and it ruined my hair. So I cut it short and am now only committed to using natural products. "

How is the Sanotint 74 that you are using now?
"Yes it works good, I use it mostly on my goatee, but I have to be real careful and not get it on my skin (stains). I react to the regular hair dyes (PPD) very badly, this can make my skin slightly irritated but nothing at all compared to the regular dyes, the henna dyes don't work on the beard hair at all, this is the best I've found. But my beard hair grows fast and I have to dye it at least once a week if not more often. I'm thinking the next lighter dye (Sanotint 74) will work better and not get as dark when I re-dye, hopefully. Thanks again"
