PURE ICY GLOSS REFINER
This leave-in treatment acts to neutralize yellow tones in blond, bleached, and gray hair, and orange and copper tones in brown and highlighted hair, all without using pigments. Instead, the cold-pressed formula employs an upcycled active ingredient based on a cross-linked technology between Clitoria ternatea and pea starch, both obtained from upcycling processes. The technology is based on the cross-linking of plant metabolites and polysaccharides, which act on the hair fiber without using chemical pigments. It optically modulates warm tones in the hair, counteracting yellow and orange tones without leaving any color residue, representing an alternative to synthetic dyes. The formula is 98.8% natural and is formulated in a cold production process, reducing energy consumption and emissions. Alongside neutralizing yellow tones, the treatment conditions, controls frizz, hydrates, and protects against environmental stress.
