NATURALNESS AND EFFECTIVENESS

Our 100% naturally derived gardenia extract follows the commitment to Pierre Fabre's eco-friendly Green Mission. 

Its red-orange-colored fruit contains yellow dyes called crocin, part of the carotenoid family, which are not very common in the plant world. Thanks to a unique extraction process, its aqueous extract allows you to obtain a palette of yellow for luminous shades. 

This is the first time that Gardenia extract has been used in hair coloring. It has been patented for its hair coloring effectiveness.
