title: Experimental studies on a new hair dyeing ingredient 2-(2', 4'-diaminophenoxy) ethanol : lack of genotoxic properties.
abstract: A benzene metadiamine derivative, 2-(2', 4' diaminophenoxy) ethanol proved to be interesting in hairdyeing. Its genotoxicity was investigated in various tests. The ingredient showed no mutagenicity in the different assays which indicates a correlation among the battery of tests. It also appears that within a chemical category, similarity of structure does not always imply similar genetic response.
