Original&Mineral

Original&Mineral has a progressive new colour technology–Molecular Blend Technology (MBT).

This revolutionary coloring system pre-links base and reflect colour pigments, allowing them to develop more effectively and evenly, giving superior coverage while minimising the risk of scalp irritation.

Three ingredients that O&M has chosen to exclude:

AMMONIA

— is typically used to swell the hair and open the cuticle scales to allow color to penetrate deep within the cortex. For anyone with sensitive skin or scalp, this is an unhealthy additive. We’ve replaced it with MEA – an alkaline agent that mimics the role of Ammonia, minus the odor, red eyes and irritation.

PPD

— Paraphenylenediamine is a chemical known to cause dermatitis, reddening and swelling of the scalp and face. We’ve replaced it with low levels of PTDS (P-toluenediamine Sulfate), enabling up to 50% of PPD allergic stylists and clients to now use color.

RESORCINOL

— is a popular coloring agent toxic to wildlife and the human immune system. Shade dependent, we’ve replaced it with 2-Methylresorcinol or 4-Chlororesorcinol – two chemicals kinder to the environment and with less potential to sensitize.


Original&Mineral Hair color system is enhanced with exotic fruits and seeds of the Australian desert: Desert Peach (Santalum acuminatum), Desert Lime (Citrus glauca) and Wattle Seed (Acacia victoriae) – each a traditional food source that brings radiant health benefits for hair.
