Matrix Crème Oxydant 20 Vol (6%) Cream Developer - 1000ml

Matrix Crème Oxydant is a professional cream peroxide developer made to be mixed with a Matrix professional hair colour product (e.g., SoColor/Socolor Beauty lines) — it is not a standalone colourant. At 20 Volume (approximately 6% hydrogen peroxide), it is the strength commonly used for level-on-level/tone-on-tone colouring, gentle lift (roughly one level), and grey coverage when combined with a compatible Matrix colour, rather than for heavy lightening (which typically requires a higher-volume developer such as 30 or 40 Vol). Its cream/emulsion consistency is designed to mix smoothly with colour and stay in place on hair (non-drip) during processing for controlled, salon-style application.

Key Ingredients

• Hydrogen Peroxide (approx. 6%, i.e., 20 Volume) — The active oxidising agent; opens the hair cuticle and reacts with the mixed-in colour product to enable lift and/or deposit of tone
• Cream/emulsion base — Gives a smooth, non-drip texture that blends evenly with colour and helps keep the mixture in place on sectioned hair during processing

How to Use

Mix Matrix Crème Oxydant 20 Vol (6%) with the chosen Matrix hair colour in a non-metallic bowl, using the ratio specified on that particular colour product's instructions (commonly around 1:1, but always confirm against the colour box/tube). Blend until smooth and apply evenly to sectioned hair. Process for the time recommended by the specific colour product (typically in the 30-45 minute range), then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with a colour-safe shampoo/conditioner. Intended for professional/salon use alongside a compatible Matrix colour product; always patch test 48 hours beforehand and follow that colour product's full directions, not generic instructions alone.

Benefits

• Provides gentle lift of natural or previously coloured hair (approximately one level) when mixed with a compatible Matrix colour
• Suited to level-on-level and tone-on-tone colouring rather than heavy lightening
• Supports full grey coverage when used together with an appropriate Matrix colour formula (the developer activates the colour; coverage also depends on the colour product chosen)
• Smooth, non-drip cream texture for even mixing and controlled application
• Consistent, predictable colour development timing for salon-style results
