Behind the Pure Perfection Hair Colour Formula

Pure Perfection answers one of the most widely heard requests our professionals hear in the salon. Half of clients (just like you) have asked for gentler colours, with ammonia being one of the key ingredients you may prefer to avoid.

And while ammonia certainly has its place in the salon world, with benefits that make it essential in certain colour services, our scientists challenged themselves to develop a permanent colour that delivers truly beautiful, reliable results while helping hair look and feel healthier after colouring.

The ‘truly effective’ part is important; when tested, many permanent hair colours on the market can produce inconsistent colour results or leave hair feeling dry, rough, and overprocessed. In other words, clients are often faced with a choice between gentler-feeling formulas and flawless colour performance.

So, we formulated Pure Perfection with the aim of a clean hair colour that’s clinically proven to deliver on results. It delivers rich, even colour, long-lasting results, and visible improvements in shine, smoothness and a more nourished look.

To support this, Pure Perfection is powered by our supercharged Metal Purifier technology and is formulated without ammonia, fragrance, mineral oil, silicones and PPD/PTD**. We call this a ‘cleanical’ colour: the ideal balance of a gentle formula with head-turning, high-performing results.

It’s proof that you no longer have to choose between hair health and the beautiful colour you deserve.
