Yes, it does. I imagine you could review the ingredients label online or at the store. A very short biochemistry of lead acetate's function in the product... lead acetate reacts with sulfur elements found in the hair to produce the desired color. It actually isn't a very novel idea. The name Grecian 5 probably came from the fact that this same idea was utilized in the Greco-Roman period when men and women used lead combs dipped in vinegar (acetic acid) to color their hair. Using lead in hair dyes have not been totally regulated by the FDA because the govt branch has not been given enough information to alert consumers to its harm. However, I think the FDA has mandated that each dye containing the neurotoxic heavy metal (LEAD) state that users should not use it on their eyebrows, mustache, or any other hairs besides the ones coming out of the scalp. (I would heed to this or better yet NOT use it at all).

excuse my last reply. this grecian-5 DOES NOT contain lead acetate. although, the p-Phenylenediamine is probably just as dangerous. take a look at the site below. my suggestion is if you see an ingredient you can't pronounce, leave it alone:) take care. http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/72/6/2423
