Botanical Support for Copper and Auburn Hair Tones in Formulations
This product belongs to the category of active ingredients for hair, and its main purpose is to help maintain the intensity of red, copper and golden auburn tones during regular care for colored or naturally red hair. The botanical pigments and tannins in the formula can partially offset color fading between coloring sessions, a feature especially valued in the professional hairdressing industry and in the production of tinting hair care lines.
The phyto complex is primarily used in the production of shampoos, conditioners, masks and leave-in treatments designed specifically for red and copper hair shades. Salons and professional cosmetic brands rely on such complexes to extend the life of henna coloring, semi-permanent tints or permanent dyes containing red pigment. Beyond the color-boosting effect, the plant extracts in the formula also offer additional toning and strengthening action on the hair shaft, which is why the ingredient is often introduced not only into tinting products but also into broader care formulas for colored hair.
Recommended dosage typically ranges from 3 to 10 percent of the total formula weight, with the exact percentage depending on the desired tone intensity and the type of base — shampoo, mask or leave-in product. It is recommended to add the phyto complex during the cooling phase of the emulsion, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to preserve the stability of the plant pigments and avoid their breakdown under heat. After adding it, the mixture should be stirred thoroughly until homogeneous and brought to final viscosity.
For comprehensive hair care programs, this phyto complex pairs well with actives that target other specific needs. For example, to support color retention alongside hair growth stimulation, many formulations combine it with Capixyl Peptide 1 L for larger production runs, or its smaller counterpart Capixyl Peptide 100 ml for small test batches and trial formulations. This combination allows brands to create products that simultaneously improve hair density and thickness while boosting the visual vibrancy of the shade.
The phyto complex can also be used together with restorative liposomal formulas. For premium care lines aimed at damaged or chemically treated hair, it is worth combining it with Liposomal Hair Complex Protective (with tripeptide-1), which allows manufacturers to market a product with a claimed dual effect — color preservation combined with structural repair of the hair.
The 1 liter packaging is convenient for studio and small-batch production — labs, private label brands and small workshops producing limited runs of professional or home hair care cosmetics without the need to purchase large industrial volumes. The phyto complex should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can reduce the stability of the plant pigments.
