Organic Salon Systems

Its unique oil-delivery system has replaced the need for a highly toxic substance such as ammonia to swell and blast open the cuticle. Instead, soya oil softens the cuticle allowing gentle heat to open it, deliver the color into the hair shaft, and create a permanent result.

You may ask why other color lines aren’t employing this oil-delivery system that’s been proven to work for 15 years, and in 32 countries around the world.   Simply put, it’s more expensive to manufacture this type of color line. The ingredients required are more costly, so profit margins are affected, and large corporations are much more driven by their bottom line. Fortunately, this corporate attitude provided an opportunity for a couple of hairdressers and a chemist from the UK to come up with an alternative, and Organic Color Systems™ was created. Although it has gained much popularity in Europe over the last 15 years, and has been available in this country for 7, the growth has really only begun to explode in recent times with the consumer’s focus on eco-conscious alternatives that are less damaging to their health, but still give them a superior salon-quality result. Stylists and salons that fail to ride the wave of the green and organic movement will surely be left behind as more and more clients demand something better.

It is important to understand that when one is using the term “organic” that it has different definitions depending on the context. An “organic tomato” is grown with no chemicals and can be certified as “organically grown”. Organic Color Systems™ is obviously not a food and there are no such designations for organic hair color. That being said, Organic Color Systems is made up of at least 5 Certified Organic Ingredients, and even more in the Organic Care Systems and Organic Control Systems lines.

At least 89% of the Organic Color System line  is naturally derived and 10% is made up of organically grown ingredients. This is a huge percentage in contrast to other color lines. Also, all of our lines of products are completely cruelty-free as they are never tested on animals and contain absolutely no animal by-products and is a qualified vegan product. Not only does it have ZERO ammonia, it also contains ZERO resorcinol, which is a pigment that has been banned in the European Union due to its adverse health effects. Ammonia is an extremely toxic ingredient and resorcinol is a toxic substance with carcinogenic properties much like parabens. Organic Color Systems products are free of ammonia, resorcinol, parabens, and the other toxic and carcinogenic ingredients commonly found in other products.

The term “green” has been constantly redefined as we learn more and more about sustainability and the common sense principles of “recycle – reduce – reuse”. Technology has also been emerging to help us make this possible in our daily lives. Any salon or stylist using Organic Color Systems™ has the perfect opportunity to define what “green” means in the salon environment. As importantly, using it demonstrates the changes you’ve employed and the alternatives you are providing your clients. Perhaps, as this movement towards conservation, awareness, and sustainability continues; salons such as yours will join us as we revolutionize the beauty industry one head of hair at a time.
