Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Cream Developer (3.6oz / 107mL)

Achieve precise, uniform lift and predictable salon color results with the advanced, anti-brass formula of Clairol Professional Shimmer Lights Cream Developer. Packaged in a convenient, single-use or touch-up friendly 3.6oz bottle, this professional-grade developer is specifically engineered to blend effortlessly with lighteners, permanent cream colors, and toners. Its stabilization-controlled cream consistency provides smooth application and optimal cling to the hair structure, making it a critical asset for maintaining blonde, silver, highlighted, and platinum tones.

Volume Options & Function

• 10 Volume (3% Peroxide): Designed for gentle processing, depositing tone, or achieving a minimal, controlled lift. It is the perfect companion for processing cool-toned permanent cream toners on pre-lightened hair matrixes without altering the structural integrity.
• 20 Volume (6% Peroxide): Engineered for standard processing, providing up to 1 to 2 levels of reliable lift while ensuring complete gray coverage when mixed with permanent hair colors.

Key Benefits

• Smooth Cream Consistency: The rich, creamy texture mixes instantly into a lump-free, easy-to-spread paste that perfectly coats the hair fiber, preventing running, dripping, or overlapping.
• Optimized for Toners & Lighteners: Formulated to work seamlessly with the iconic Shimmer Lights range, ensuring cool, precise, and crisp results that proactively eliminate yellow, brassy undertones.
• Gentle Processing Matrix: Formulated with protective emollient lipids that buffer the chemical reaction, minimizing cuticle stress and preserving natural hair elasticity during color development.
• Controlled Oxygen Release: Features high-purity stabilization components that guarantee uniform gas release throughout the entire processing window for highly uniform color distribution.
• Convenient Mini Size: The compact 3.6oz bottle is perfectly measured for quick touch-ups, money pieces, root maintenance, or individual toning sessions with minimal product waste.
