The AGEbeautiful 20 Volume Gentle Hair Developer is a professional-grade oxidative agent designed for predictable lifting and optimal gray coverage. This cream-based formula is stabilized to ensure consistent results and minimize migration during application. It is formulated to provide up to two levels of lift when paired with compatible colorants or lighteners.
Formulation Science
The primary active component is a 6% concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide. The "Gentle" designation is attributed to the inclusion of Cetearyl Alcohol and specific emollients that serve as a lipid buffer during the chemical process. Key technical points include:
- Hydrogen Peroxide (6%): Standardized agent for oxidation and lifting.
- Cream Viscosity: Designed for "no-drip" application and scalp comfort.
- Conditioning Buffers: Included to maintain the appearance of hair elasticity.
Usage & Maintenance Protocols
Data-backed guidelines recommend a 48-hour patch test to ensure skin compatibility. This formula is recognized for its ability to maintain a higher moisture profile than standard liquid developers. To maintain the hair's surface integrity, users should follow chemical processing with a lipid-rich treatment to condition the cuticle and restore pH balance.
