Organic Color Systems was created 20 years ago by the founder who had lymphoma and was looking for an alternative to the color out in the market. Our color is PH gentle and has no ammonia.
Manufacturer Stated Benefits:
Organic Color Systems contains certified Organic Comfrey, Grapefruit, and Orange Extract. The comfrey acts as a scalp soother, the grapefruit as a natural anti-bacterial agent, and the orange as a natural anti-oxidant.
Organic Color Systems is ammonia free. Ammonia is a corrosive chemical that is used in explosives, fertilizer, and cleaning products. Its use in haircolor has been banned in Argentina and in the Netherlands ammoniated colors must be mixed in a separate, closed room that has a special ventilation system. In addition to its negative effects on the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, ammonia compromises the hairs abilty to hold on to hair color.
Organic Color Sytems works at a much lower ph than ammoniated colors. Our color works at a ph of 8.5 to 9 versus a ph of 11 for ammoniated colors (This might seem like a minor difference but the ph scale is logarithmic. When you move from 7 to 8 it is 10 times higher, from 8 to 9, 100 times higher. From 9 to 10, 1000 times higher and so on). This is important because ph values are used to open or close the hair. The higher up the scale the hair is taken the more it opens and swells. If you take the hair too far up the scale it becomes very difficult or even impossible to bring the hair back down to its isometric point of 5. This means the cuticle (or outer protective layer) is left open and is not able to protect the more delicate inner structure of the hair. Microscopic photos verify the superior condition that OCS leaves the hair in.
OCS is Resorcinol free. Resorcinol is a pigment that is banned in the European Union but is still used in the U.S. Resorcinol is a suspected carcinogen.
OCS contains on average 0.4 percent PPD’s. This is in contrast to ammoniated colors which contain 3-6 percent PPD’s. PPD’s are an ingredient that some people find objectionable and can cause sensitivity and/or allergic reactions in some people.
OCS uses pharmaceutical grade peroxide. This is used in contact lense solution and eyedrops. It is more refined and milder. This reduces irritation on the skin and burning on the hair.
OCS contains no parabens. Parabens are a preservative that are believed to mimic estrogen in the body.
Ammonia was banned in the use of color in Argentina and in the Netherlands for years. Ammonia breaks down to tyrosine in the hair and destroys the liver and condition of your hair. There are no PPDs or coal tar in our color; as well at being resinol free (that is the agent that adds blue/green to color very carcinogenic.
