Provides oxidative action for stronger lift, including high-lift blonde colour formulas. Hydrogen peroxide at 12% provides the colouring or lightening reaction, while the stabilised creamy texture helps the product mix and apply evenly.

Developer strength is part of the colour formula: this 12%, or 40 vol., version is used to prepare a higher-lift formula with an appropriate colour or lightener. Hydrogen peroxide in FarmaVita Life developer provides the oxidative action, while its stabilised creamy texture helps combine the components smoothly and apply the prepared mixture evenly.

In high-lift blonde formulas, this 40 vol. developer supports the colour's lifting action and must only be used as directed for the service. FarmaVita Life developer has a concentration of 12%, and its stabilised cream formulation is designed for mixing with compatible professional colour or lightener.

Hair colour developer and key benefits

Detailed description

Choose the developer concentration according to the colour or lightener instructions, starting hair colour and planned service. The developer is the mixture component that provides the oxidative action. The cream formulation mixes evenly with the compatible colouring product.

How it works and choosing a service

The active ingredient in the developer is hydrogen peroxide. It provides oxidation in the colouring or lightening mixture. The concentration determines the developer strength, while the colour or lightener determines the required ratio and processing time. The creamy texture helps the components mix evenly.

Related products and mixing examples

The standard Life Color Plus colour-to-developer ratio is 1:1.5; a 1:1 ratio can be used for more intense colour. The high-lift range uses a separate 1:2 formula with 12% developer. Mix Omniplex 2 in 1 bleaching powder with a suitable 6%, 9% or 12% developer at a 1:2 ratio. Omniplex Blossom Glow Bond Care Shampoo and Mask cleanse and condition coloured hair at the end of colouring and lightening services.

How to use

Before mixing, choose a colour or lightener compatible with this developer concentration. Measure the developer and mix with the product in the exact ratio specified in its instructions. For standard Life Color Plus colouring with 6%, 9% or 12% developer, use 1 part colour and 1.5 parts developer; the high-lift range has a separate formula.

Follow the colour or lightener instructions for application and processing time. For professional use only; follow the warnings on the packaging.

Colouring formula example

For the Life Color Plus high-lift range, mix, for example, 50 ml colour with 100 ml of this 12% developer. The ratio is 1:2 and the processing time is 40–45 minutes. For regrowth retouching, apply only to the regrowth and do not comb through the lengths and ends.

Using with bleaching powder

For Omniplex 2 in 1 powder, use the 1:2 ratio specified in its instructions. For white, blue and violet Life powders, follow the formula and processing time on each pack; do not apply a hair colour mixing ratio to a lightener.

Product story

Within the Life professional colouring system, developer is one component of the overall colour formula. Alongside the shade choice, the developer strength and ratio also matter. This 12% version is designed for oxidative hair colouring and preparing lightening mixtures, so its selection is closely linked to the planned salon service.

The Life range includes stabilised cream developers in several strengths. They complement colouring and lightening products, allowing the hairdresser to select the system component appropriate to the task. The creamy texture is suitable for preparing a smooth mixture and working with professional colouring products.

The 1000 ml pack is part of this practical approach. The developer provides the oxidative action required by the selected hair colouring product, while the specific formula is determined by the colour or lightener instructions. Professional colouring therefore begins with coordinated choices: a suitable shade, the appropriate developer and the application method for the particular service.
