Innersense Bright Balance Hairbath — Toning Shampoo That Neutralises Brass While Nourishing Color-Treated Hair
Blonde and grey hair is uniquely vulnerable to colour drift — warmth creeps in, brightness fades, and vibrancy dulls between salon visits. Bright Balance Hairbath delivers a corrective cleanse with its signature purple pigment, counteracting brassiness and yellow tones in a single wash while apple and rice extracts flood the fibre with moisture. The ritual feels as considered as the formula: a light, aromatic lather of jasmine and apple lifts away residue without stripping, leaving hair visibly brighter, softer, and balanced from root to tip.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monoi Oil | Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (and) Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract | High | Emollient / Occlusive | Seals moisture into the hair shaft, shields strands from environmental aggressors, and extends colour vibrancy |
| Apple Extract | Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract | Mid | Humectant | Attracts and retains moisture within the hair fibre, improving softness, smoothness, and overall hair health |
| Witch Hazel | Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf Extract | Mid | Astringent / Anti-inflammatory Cleanser | Gently removes colour-dulling residue and buildup from the scalp without disrupting the hair's natural balance |
| Organic Rice Syrup | Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract / Hydrolysed Rice Protein | Mid | Protein / Humectant | Delivers amino acids that reinforce hair elasticity, promote moisture retention, and improve fibre integrity |
| Violet / Purple Pigment | Violet 2 or CI 60730 (inferred) | Trace | Optical Toner | Neutralises yellow and brassy tones on blonde and grey hair through complementary colour correction |
Bright Balance Hairbath operates on two simultaneous axes: optical correction and structural nourishment. The purple pigment deposits onto the hair cuticle during cleansing, counteracting yellow and orange tones through complementary colour theory — violet sits opposite yellow on the colour wheel, neutralising warmth on contact. Concurrently, apple extract and organic rice syrup act as humectants and amino acid donors, reinforcing the hair's moisture-retention capacity and elasticity at the cortex level. Monoi oil — rich in vitamin E and fatty acids — forms a protective barrier around the cuticle to reduce environmental oxidation, a key driver of colour fade, while witch hazel's astringent properties lift surface residue and product buildup from the scalp, ensuring a clean base that allows colour to read clearer and brighter with each wash. ---
