THE REVOLUTION IN HAIR COLOURING
Actyva represents Kemon’s solid commitment to making professional cosmetics more and more advanced, effective and sustainable. It is our best contribution for true, visionary and uncompromising beauty to no longer have to choose between a natural approach and effectiveness.
By combining cosmetic research on technologically advanced raw materials and the utmost attention to natural ingredients, we can make increasingly sustainable and efficacious products
These are the pillars of Actyva that also lie at the very origin of Coloro.
SCIENCE AND NATURE
Actyva Coloro is the professional hair colour system comprising two different Green&Clean Cosmetics-certified hair colour treatments, both formulated according to the principles of transparency, environmental sustainability and consumer safety to offer a thoroughly customised service
Hair colouring becomes a beauty treatment that takes care of the scalp and hair in a natural and gentle way.
Each hair colour line has been developed with dedicated key ingredients to ensure performance and comfort during application
Both colour treatments contain Velian Complex, Kemon’s patented blend of the extracts of 4 medicinal plants organically grown in the Kemon Open Lab and providing antioxidant, emollient and soothing activity.
The bespoke colour treatment
From the research activity of Kemon’s laboratories and the principles of skin care comes the new Actyva Coloro This innovative way of colouring hair with bespoke performance offers intense and shiny results while fully respecting the scalp and hair, and allows for one-step lightening and toning thanks to its exclusive Alkela Complex technology.
VELIAN COMPLEX
Both Actyva Coloro System hair colour treatments contain Velian Complex, Kemon’s patented blend of the extracts of 4 medicinal plants organically grown in the Kemon Open Lab and providing antioxidant, emollient and soothing activity
In 2006, in the hills of Umbria – not far from our plant – we converted 20 hectares of land to organic farming. This is how we started a long and intense period of experimentation with the plants in our “open-air laboratory”, a research activity that still goes on today and has led us to achieve unprecedented results for cosmetics. After a long period of studies, we selected four plants for their emollient and soothing properties. These plants, native to the area, hardy and resistant, do not need a lot of water and are grown in accordance with organic farming techniques in our Kemon Open Lab
Velian Complex is the result of a combination of:
- Mullein (Verbascum densiflorum): with soothing powers.
- Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum): with calming and refreshing powers.
- Flax (Linum usitatissimum): with protective and emollient powers.
- Dyer’s Chamomile (Anthemis tinctoria): with antioxidant powers.
The result is a patented blend of plant extracts, the fruit of extensive research conducted by Kemon in collaboration with Vivacell Biotechnology (Denzlingen, Germany) and the University of Ferrara.
Scientific studies have demonstrated that “specific blends of extracts of mullein, helichrysum, flax and dyer’s chamomile, produced using plants grown in accordance with organic farming techniques in our Kemon Open Lab, possess noteworthy anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant characteristics”, and that the patented Velian Complex blend produces an important synergistic effect, with results greater than those expected from the sum of the individual extracts
OUR CERTIFICATIONS
As a testament to our constant commitment to excellence, the sustainability and quality of our Actyva Coloro System products meet the needs of consumers who are sensitive to environmental protection and cosmetics safety.
GREEN&CLEAN COSMETICS GUIDELINE
With Actyva Coloro, we renew our commitment towards more advanced, effective and sustainable professional cosmetics. All formulas are certified Green&Clean Cosmetics, a self-imposed procedural guideline that sets very high standards for our research and development of every product in the line. This guideline stands on three pillars: transparency, Green&Clean formulas, sustainability and safety for the environment and consumers
TRANSPARENCY
Our aim is to communicate with all users in a clear and transparent way. For this reason, we have chosen “talking” packaging, which tells about the product line and its attributes through symbols.
GREEN&CLEAN FORMULAS
Free of unnecessary or potentially harsh ingredients
We deliberately search for the things that bring tangible quality and value to beauty, health and the environment, leaving out the superfluous and harmful. For this reason, our procedural guideline includes a list of ingredients that are allowed to be used in cosmetics but that we have chosen to replace with nextgeneration alternatives that can offer increasingly sustainable products
Ingredients of natural origin
We pursue scientific and technological innovation to harness and boost what nature offers, drawing inspiration from the principles of green chemistry. Our orientation towards natural cosmetic products is demonstrated by the high percentage of ingredients of natural origin utilised in our formulas. Actyva uses over 100 raw materials of natural origin; their percentage in the formula is shown on the front label of every product.
Icea Vegan-certified formulas
We want to promote a more respectful way of making cosmetics. To us, this means safeguarding life and nature in all of its forms and also keeping animal welfare in mind. The ICEA Vegan certification ensures that in the ingredients and throughout the entire production cycle of Actyva products, no raw material, process aid or auxiliary agent of animal and GMO origin is used. What’s more, production and hygiene standards are very high
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CONSUMER SAFETY
Ingredients from responsible sources
We prefer short supply chain raw materials that are found in close proximity to the place of production. This significantly reduces packaging and transport-related CO2 emissions. For this reason, many years ago we converted a 20-hectare piece of land near our production plant to organic agriculture, to grow medicinal plants and local crops. We call it our Kemon Open Lab, an open-air laboratory where the best locally sourced organic ingredients are tested and sustainable cosmetics produced. Our Velian Complex was created here, a patented blend of medicinal plant extracts that work synergistically to provide soothing, emollient and protective effects, boosting the effectiveness of our Actyva products even further.
Dermatologically tested formulations
To us, protecting the user’s health and creating gentle formulas are essential in the development of our products. This is why Actyva product formulations are subject to thorough and rigorous safety assessments by experts and are dermatologically tested by independent testing institutes to determine skin tolerability under the close supervision of a dermatologist.
Packaging made from sustainable materials
GREEN PE – This is the material used for the 1000 ml packaging of our Actyva Coloro Cream Activators. It is an innovative non-petroleum based material obtained from sugarcane, a renewable resource that helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
rPET – This acronym stands for “recycled polyethylene terephthalate”, the material utilised for the packaging of Actyva Coloro Demi-Permanent Color and Actyva Coloro Gloss. The use of recovered and recycled packaging results in a significant decrease in plastic waste and CO2 emissions: recycling 1 kg of rPET reduces CO2 emissions by 3 kg.
r-ALU – Short for “recycled aluminium”. This is the material selected for the tubes of Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color.
Clean energy
We implement actions to reduce the impact that emissions produced have on our planet. We only use clean energy from renewable sources generated by the power plants of Gruppo Dolomiti Energia. In addition, we voluntarily adhere to the Kyoto protocol, offsetting our total CO2 emissions from methane gas use.
ISO 16128
Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color contains up to 95% natural origin ingredients and Actyva Coloro Demi-Permanent Color up to 84% after mixing the colour treatments with Actyva Coloro Cream Activator.
This is a value calculated according to the ISO 16128 international standard. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards are internationally recognised and consist of industry standards, guidelines, rules and requirements for maintaining product quality, safety and consistency
ISO 16128 gives technical definitions and adopts quantitative criteria to indicate the natural and organic content in any cosmetic product by providing standard and comparable methods to determine natural and organic origin indexes
ICEA VEGAN
The Vegan certification delivered by the ICEA (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica e Ambientale, Ethical and Environmental Certification Institute) ensures that in the ingredients and throughout the entire production cycle of Actyva Coloro products, no raw material, process aid or auxiliary agent of animal and GMO origin is used. What’s more, production and hygiene standards are very high.
ACTYVA COLORO THE PERMANENT HAIR COLOR
THE BESPOKE COLOUR TREATMENT
This permanent hair colour range developed by Kemon’s laboratories expresses the most advanced cosmetic research that combines science and nature. It is the new way of providing a bespoke hair colour treatment to respond to every demand and need, and is formulated according to the principles of skin care.
Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color is a patent filed by Kemon. This confirms the level of innovation and uniqueness of our formulation that guarantees exceptional and lasting results: a patent-pending, cutting-edge solution
The unique pluses of our formula:
- ALKELA COMPLEX
- Equimolar formulation
- Up to 95% natural origin ingredients*
- ICEA Vegan certification
The colour range consists of 45 shades divided into 10 colour series, plus 5 Super-lighteners and 1 Booster
*This is a value calculated according to the ISO 16128 technical standard after mixing Actyva Coloro colour treatment with Actyva Coloro Cream Activator.
SKIN CARE & HAIR CARE
The new face cream with 97% natural ingredients, specifically designed by Kemon’s laboratories, offers a skin care solution using the same ingredients that make up the base formulation of Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color
It represents Kemon’s excellence by combining the passion for hair care and skin beauty in one revolutionary product.
Its formula has been carefully studied to ensure maximum skin benefits by delivering intense hydration and deep nutrition
ALKELA COMPLEX
THE ROLE OF ALKALISERS
Alkalisers play a decisive role in permanent hair colours, their actions consisting in:
- Swelling the hair structure
- Promoting the penetration of hair dying substances
- Triggering off the oxidative process
The way these actions are performed determines not only the quality of the colour result, but also the quality of the entire hair structure.
To date, hair colours were divided into two types:
- With ammonia
- Ammonia free (with Monoethanolamine)
Both types of alkalisers are legally allowed and not harmful to health.
ALKELA
From Kemon’s Research and Development laboratories comes ALKELA COMPLEX, a synergistic blend of molecules with alkalising/chelating activity that goes beyond the concept of traditional alkalisers in oxidative hair colours.
Due to its innovative “alchelating” action, ALKELA COMPLEX ensures controlled cuticle opening while binding and removing metal ions* not only from the hair surface, but also from the innermost layers of the hair structure.
This dual effect of gentle cuticle swelling and deep hair detox remarkably preserves hair integrity and guarantees out-of-sight shine and extraordinarily even results
ALKELA COMPLEX enables:
- Controlled cuticle swelling
- Increased gentleness to the scalp and hair
- More even colours as a result of its chelating and detoxifying action
- Improved shine due to a healthy cuticle that reflects a more radiant colour
- Longer-lasting colour results, as an intact cuticle locks in colour molecules within the hair, extending colour longevity
- Greater lightening of the cosmetic colour
- Extremely comfortable use thanks to its delicate fragrance
EQUIMOLAR FORMULATION
Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color is formulated according to the equimolar principle for greater:
- Colour stability
-
Scalp tolerance
- Shine, as a result of correctly balanced oxidative intermediates
-
Colour accuracy
-
Colour longevity
ACTIONS AND KEY INGREDIENTS
NUTRITION: UPCYCLED POMEGRANATE OIL
At the core of pomegranate oil is a rare omega-5 fatty acid named punicic acid
This cosmetic active ingredient is contained in pomegranate oil at a level of over 60% and has exceptional antioxidant properties that protect skin and hair against free radical-induced oxidative stress The use of pomegranate oil on hair improves its appearance by adding shine, volume and softness.
Upcycling is a process that consists in transforming by-products or waste materials considered useless into higher-value products without compromising their quality in order to use them as ingredients in the cosmetics industry.
The remaining seeds from pomegranate juice production are used to obtain this valuable, nutrient-rich, high-quality organic oil.
PROTECTION: BIOMIMETIC BLEND OF AMINO ACIDS
Actyva Coloro The Permanent Hair Color is enriched with a biomimetic blend of specific amino acids mimicking the composition of keratin to restructure the hair fibre and repair any damaged areas. As a result, the hair will be more evenly structured and, therefore, able to lock in colour pigments more effectively for improved colour fastness to washings

DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND SPECIAL SERIES
The following table shows the grey/white coverage percentage provided by each shade.
ACTYVA COLORO BOOSTER
This is a cream containing the innovative ALKELA COMPLEX: its breakthrough formula enhances colour performance by promoting pigment penetration and boosting colour lightening
SUPER-LIGHTENERS
This series makes it possible to lift the natural base up to 5 levels
The lightening action is limited to the regrowth area, which should not exceed 1.5 centimetres to avoid demarcation lines.
50 ml of Actyva Coloro
The Permanent Hair Color Super-lightener + 100 ml of 40-vol. Actyva Coloro Cream Activator
For more intense lightening, deposit a generous amount of mixture on the regrowth area only, and do not brush to avoid bringing the lightening product down the mid-shafts and ends.
Leave in place for 50 minutes. Once the processing time is up, do not comb or massage the product along the midshafts or on the ends. After rinsing and washing the colour, the mid-shafts can be toned with the desired shade of Actyva Coloro Demi-Permanent Color mixed with 6.5-vol. Actyva Coloro Cream Activator. Apply the mixture to the base that has just been lightened, too.
Mixed with Actyva Coloro Booster, the Super-lighteners let you lighten and tone the cosmetic colour in just one step. For instructions on how to use them, refer to the Hi-Lift service.
