seep/ooze/trickle/emit/excrete into your scalp

The chemicals from hair dye can seep into your scalp and may harm your body.

My dictionary lists ooze/trickle/emit/excrete as synonyms of seep, but I doubt all of them can replace seep in the above sample. In practice, which ones fit in the above? Thanks.

None of those synonyms works in your sentence, Angliholic. A good alternative wording might be "can be absorbed by your scalp".
