What does ‘no skin test’ colour mean, exactly?
The unique formula found in Magma colour contains advanced pigment technology allowing the removal of the skin test step. The difference between Magma and other colour products is that it uses direct dyes. And, due to the concentration of pigments in the dye, it isn’t oxidising – which other colour products are. That, combined with a specialist off-scalp application, makes Magma colour safe for use without the need for a skin test.
But that’s not all. The colour, when coupled with our stylist expertise, also renders unique results and finishes. The ‘Magma’ colour formula allows stylists to both lift and tone your hair colour in just one sitting. Traditionally speaking, direct dyes cannot be intermixed with bleaches, as they become unstable once they reach high pH levels. Magma however, is a specially formulated direct dye, designed to be stable at the high pH levels of bleaches. There’s a little more to it too. But, at the risk of sounding like a chemistry lesson, we think that’s enough of the sciency stuff! The fact is, you don’t need a skin test and yes, it’s completely safe.
