Scalp penetration of diaminoanisole (DAA), p-phenylenediamine (PPD), and N4,N4-Bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N'-methyl-2-nitro-p-phenylenediamine (HC Blue #1) that occurs under conditions of hair dye usage was evaluated for both Rhesus monkey and man using 14C labeled materials. Both specieis showed a remarkably similar pattern of dye penetration. Thus the average dose excretion of DAA in the Rhesus monkey was 0.02% and in man 0.015%; PPD excretion in monkey and man was 0.14%; and HC Blue #1 excretion in the monkey was 0.12% and in man, 0.09%.
