According to the company, when an oxidative hair colorant containing Crodafos phosphate esters is mixed with a developer, the dye intermediate complex is structurally protected and can only be broken by shear stress during hair color application. Therefore, the dye intermediate penetrates the hair cortex with a smaller molecular weight and can begin oxidation coupling for a higher dye uptake and faster hair coloring rate.

The range includes the following ingredients, all estimated to be 100% bio-based:

  • EBC Crodafos CES MBAL for crème textures;
  • EBC Crodafos CS20a MBAL for lotion textures; and
  • EBC Crodafos HCE MBAL, for liquid textures.
