Metals and minerals present in water can damage the hair—reducing the effectiveness of chemical and color services, dulling color, impacting the hair’s texture and bounce.

This is especially true for those with previously damaged or chemically-serviced hair, and those with heavy exposure to hard water and alkaline pH water.

Our chelator acts like a magnet, attracting 7 of the most common metals and minerals away from the hair and giving it a demineralizing refresh. Now, you can demineralize hair before every service with a faster, more convenient format, without sacrificing efficacy.

how it works

Proprietary formulation tackles the most extreme metal + mineral buildup to deliver what you need with unparalleled speed, efficiency, and accuracy.

• Chelation cocktail – A unique blend of 5 chelators with a range of metal attractions is clinically proven to reduce 7 of the most common metals and minerals from the hair: Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Cadmium, Lead.
• Antioxidant Peptide – Our antioxidant peptide blocks oxidative reactors and neutralizes metals in the hair for double the protection against reactive damage.
• Soapnut – Inspired by biological design, this cleansing agent found in nature works as a powerful surfactant.
