RonC hello and I hope you're doing well! I'm doing fine today and I hope it continues for the days ahead. I checked on the web for an answer "Just For Men" users have no warning that exposure to PPD can cause a vitiligo reaction that can result in “complete and permanent depigmentation of the entire surface area of the face or scalp” on which the hair dye is applied. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the use of PPD in cosmetics applied directly to the skin, although it is still allowed in hair dye. Currently there is a law firm handling cases against "Just for Men" I suggest you to contact them to receive advice on your claim against this company. The website as mentioned is https://www.shouselaw.com/torts/just-for-men

RonC, hello and I hope you had a wonderful week. My week has been fine and I entend to have a relaxed weekend.
I'm glad you made a decision to stop using Just for Men Beard Wash, PPD is a harmful chemical. Based on my opinion I love to see a well groomed man with gray hair on his head and face; such as Richard Gere, George Clooney, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Pierce Brosnan. 😀

I have contacted attorneys. Apparently vitiligo is common for those using PPD. There was a class action lawsuit a number of years back which is now closed. Because of the difficulty to diagnose and the amount of time to settle, no one is taking it on now. I obviously have stopped using Just for Men Beard Wash. I have been tested for auto immune conditions and all were negative leading to the probability it was the beard wash.
