Description
What Chromatics Oil-in-Cream Developer Is
Redken Chromatics Oil-in-Cream Developer is a specialized developer designed specifically for use with Chromatics permanent color. It’s formulated to work with Redken’s ODS² (Oil Delivery System) to ensure consistent, creamy mixing and predictable color results.
Key Features
-
Oil-in-cream consistency — creamy texture that’s easy to mix and apply evenly with the hair color.
-
Works with ODS² technology — this system helps deliver dye and conditioning ingredients deep into the hair strand while respecting hair integrity.
-
Ammonia-free system — Chromatics overall (color plus developer) is an ammonia-free permanent haircolor line, so the developer supports gentler coloration with zero odor.
-
Available in multiple strengths — typically 10 Volume (3 %), 20 Volume (6 %) and 30 Volume (9 %) options, depending on how much lift you need.
What It Does
-
Activates the hair color so color molecules penetrate the hair shaft.
-
Enables up to ~3 levels of lift (depending on the developer strength chosen and hair type).
-
Supports up to 100 % gray coverage when mixed appropriately.
-
Helps achieve glossy, vibrant, long-lasting color results when used with Chromatics dyes.
How It’s Used
-
Mixes in a 1:1 ratio with Chromatics color cream.
-
Apply with brush and bowl (or bottle if preferred), sectioning hair with fine partings.
-
Process at room temperature then shampoo with a color-safe shampoo like Redken Hair Cleansing Cream.
-
Important: Only use this developer with Chromatics color — other developers may produce unpredictable results.
