- Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) — soothing, moisturizing plant extract that helps reduce irritation on the scalp and hair.
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone — preservative agents to maintain product integrity; follow usage guidance to minimize exposure.

Who this is for and how to use
This color cream is designed for anyone seeking a temporary, vibrant red hue without a long-term commitment. It works best on pre-lightened hair, so hair will appear brighter and the shade more intense. It is not a permanent color and will fade with washing, so you can experiment with different tones over time. For best results, wear protective gloves and cover hair with a plastic cap during processing.
Important safety notes: test a small section of hair first to assess how well the color adheres to your strands. Do not mix with peroxide. Apply to clean, dry hair and saturate thoroughly, avoiding the scalp. Rinse with cool water until it runs almost clear. The color will fade gradually with each shampoo. If you experience irritation, discontinue use and consult a professional.
Storage: store in a cool, dry place away from children. Follow the included product instructions for any heating times or dosage specifics.
