THE BRAND

R+COLOR is modern color rooted in the salon, editorial and fashion worlds. Influenced by a best-in-class collective of colorists and designed for the most uncompromising salons, this state-of-the-art range focuses on high performance, stylist wellness and environmental sustainability.

A true collaboration, R+COLOR draws upon the expertise and perspective of the industry’s top colorists. The R+COLOR Collective constantly advances the color landscape through its vision, creating the most in-demand looks that grace magazine covers and editorial pages, runways, fashion influencers and celebrities around the world. The Collective’s diverse and forward-thinking points of view inspire everything we do.

Our shade and formula development reflects the influence of our Collective. R+COLOR blondes were innovated by top blonding experts; our reds were crafted by those who perfected the category; our family of browns was fine-tuned by the go-tos for brunettes; our Brights were shaped by the artists that lead the trends. Each shade is a hero because it’s been created by the best in the business.

The results are a true-to-tone, next-level color portfolio that reflects of-the-moment hair.

STYLIST + CLIENT WELLNESS

Our formulations focus on stylist and client health and well-being.

R+COLOR is 100% vegan, cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified, as well as free of gluten, PPD, resorcinol, formaldehyde, parabens and silicones, to reflect the needs and mindsets of the stylist and consumer community alike. A full complement of unique, ammonia and mineral oil-free options have also been integrated throughout the collection to help ensure the gentlest color applications.

All formulations are fragrance-free to remove a key driver of sensitivities from hair color—especially beneficial to colorists who work with hair color products behind the chair all day.

Even R+COLOR accessories were designed with an eye on improving colorists’ salon life. For example, our latex-free, oatmeal-infused gloves hydrate, soothe and protect the colorist’s hands–and can be used with touchscreen phones without having to remove them.

PACKAGING + SUSTAINABILITY

Created with the future in mind, the R+COLOR collection makes environmental sustainability a cornerstone. Our high-design packaging is color bar-worthy in any salon and features design that reduces the environmental impact of the salon industry.

At R+COLOR, we’re committed to giving materials a second life. To reduce our footprint on earth, we use post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging whenever possible. Our hair color tubes are crafted from 100% recycled aluminum with caps made from 100% PCR materials, thus reducing virgin plastic consumption while decreasing the use of fossil fuels and energy used in package manufacturing.

We are also the first hair color brand in the world to launch a demi-permanent liquid using recycled aluminum: Our demi-permanent bottles are 100% recycled aluminum with 60% recycled aluminum caps.

Our commitment to environmental sustainability is evident throughout the R+COLOR line. Our developers are bottled in 50% PCR material while our pre- and post-color products, including our stain barrier crème, are packaged using 50% to 100% PCR materials. Designed to soothe the skin as it removes stains, VANISHING ACT is the first-to-market biodegradable stain-remover wipe.

We focus on sustainable sourcing as well. Our cartons and secondary packaging are developed from 100% PCR paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which ensures our materials have been sourced in an environmentally friendly and socially responsible manner. They are biodegradable, Green E-certified and made with renewable energy.

As innovators in the haircare industry, we strive to create a positive influence and constantly look for ways to optimize our packaging materials and reduce our environmental impact.
