Hair Dyes

With a variety of permanent, semi-permanent and temporary hair coloring products available on the market, and an extensive range of products developed to help maintain color vibrancy, it has never been easier for consumers to experiment with their hair color. 

We are a market leader for hair dyes and we offer a variety of ingredients suitable for all types of hair color formulation. We are also experts in hair coloring products providing you with innovative applications as well as strong regulatory and analytical support.

Semi-permanent

Semi-permanent hair dye is meant for short-term hair color changes. The non-oxidative dye coats the surface of the hair shaft, rather than fundamentally changing the color of the hair. This creates an easy-on, easy-off solution that can be mixed to create various colors and shades that lasts up to 12 shampoos depending on the shade. 

Unicert® J

Unicert® J semi-permanent acid dyes meet the highest SCCS purity standards, preserving hair structure while still achieving vibrant color. These acid dyes are water soluble, with anionic character and a wide variety of colors. 

Sunlight, bleaching and coloring the hair can cause hair color to turn with undesired undertones making it look unnatural. Hair correctors are used to eliminate the yellowish effect in gray hair and bleached hair. Our bestselling Unicert® Violet solves this problem by providing a high purity acid dye that neutralizes style-ruining brassy and yellow tones.

Arianor®

Sensient’s Arianor® semi-permanent basic dyes are water soluble with cationic character in a wide variety of colors and, most importantly, are used without ammonia. If hair has already been damaged from previous coloring, Arianor® helps soften the impact of another treatment.

Covariane

Semi-permanent nitro-dyes that is partially water soluble and non-ionic. It has good compatibility and has best color performance at pH 6 to 9.5. Because of these properties, it can be formulated with Arianor® for a high performance hair dye.

Covariane Blue W 6112

High purity grade nitro dyes providing dark shade suitable for oxidative & non-oxidative semi-permanent application. Alternative to HC Blue 2 versus NDELA/Nitrosamine concerns.

Temporary

Temporary hair color adds instant color to hair and washes out much more quickly than other types of application. Temporary hair color can be applied as a liquid, chalk, powder, or even from a mascara wand. These quick-fix products let you experiment with different colors with absolutely zero commitment, and provide instant gray coverage when you need a quick touch-up. 

For temporary hair color that last 1-2 shampoos or in other terms make-up for hair like pressed powders, sticks, chalks, sprays etc, usage of pigments and pearls such as our Unipure®, Covapearl®, Covanol®, Ariabel®, Covarine® ranges with surface treatment and dispersions are highly recommended.
