For compatible intensive-lifting formulas requiring this developer concentration. Hydrogen peroxide at 12% provides oxidative action, while cetearyl alcohol and emulsifiers create a creamy, evenly spreadable mixture.

MATRIX Cream Developer 12% (40 Vol) is an oxidising cream component for preparing compatible colour formulas. Hydrogen peroxide activates the colouring system, while cetearyl alcohol and emulsifiers create a creamy base for even mixing and application. In practice, developer strength and colour type must be selected together.

A uniform mixture helps thoroughly saturate the selected areas. Developer alone does not determine the whole colour service or a universal processing time: these depend on the colour or lightener used and the application technique.

Precise colour starts with a developer compatible with the chosen colour. This cream developer activates the oxidative formula and helps create a mixture suitable for application. Concentration and mixing ratio depend on the specific colour system.

MATRIX SoColor Beauty 12% is a cream developer for preparing compatible hair colour mixtures.

The developer activates oxidative hair colour. Concentration, mixing ratio and compatibility are determined by the chosen colour or lightener. Instructions for one MATRIX series must not automatically be applied to another formula.

Cream hair colour developer: key benefits

Cream consistency for preparing colour mixtures.
The chosen concentration allows you to match the developer to the colouring task.
Designed for compatible MATRIX professional colour systems.
1000 ml pack for repeated salon services.

How to use

Add the developer to compatible MATRIX colour or lightener at the ratio specified in that product's instructions. Prepare immediately before application. Wear suitable gloves and follow the colour or lightener's processing time. The developer is not a standalone hair care product.

Practical application guidance

Measure the colour or lightener first, then add developer at that product's specified ratio. For example, a 1:1 ratio requires 30 ml of developer for 30 g of colour; a 1:2 ratio requires 60 ml of developer for 30 g of colour.
Mix the colour and developer thoroughly until uniform. Select processing time and application areas according to the colour or lightener instructions, rather than the developer percentage alone.
Do not substitute this concentration for the 3% developer specified for Tonal Control or Super Sync. These toning systems are designed specifically for a 3% developer.
In SoColor lifting services, choose concentration according to the base and shade group. Ultra Blonde requires a 1:2 ratio rather than the 1:1 ratio for standard SoColor shades.
The mixture must be uniform. Do not use one universal dose or processing time for all colours and lighteners; these depend on the colouring product added.

Key ingredients and their roles

Hydrogen peroxide — the oxidising ingredient that activates colour and provides the lifting action specified for the formula.
Cetearyl alcohol and emulsifiers form a creamy base that helps the developer mix evenly with colour.
Glycerin supports the formula's moisture-binding base.

About MATRIX

MATRIX is a professional hair brand founded in the USA in 1980 by hairdressers Arnie and Sydell Miller. Its heritage centres on salon work: haircare, colouring and styling, alongside education for professionals. The brand develops products for salon services and for home care between appointments.

What is MATRIX known for?

MATRIX organises its ranges around specific hair needs. Dryness, a rough hair surface, damage and unwanted warm tones call for different approaches. Choose a product by considering your hair's texture, current condition and desired result, as well as whether it has been coloured.

A routine can progress from cleansing and conditioning to more intensive care and styling. When combining products, consider the purpose of each step: cleansing, detangling, additional care or shaping the hairstyle. Follow the individual product's directions and adjust the amount to suit your hair.

MATRIX products and key ranges

Cleansing and everyday care

Shampoos form the starting point, while hair conditioners care for the lengths after washing. For more intensive care, consider hair masks. Check whether each product is designed to be rinsed out or left in, and which needs it addresses.

Food For Soft and Instacure Build-A-Bond

Food For Soft targets dry hair with formulas featuring avocado oil and hyaluronic acid. Instacure Build-A-Bond addresses damaged hair with citric acid and squalane. Choose between these ranges according to whether your main concern is dryness or damage.

Mega Sleek and A Curl Can Dream

Mega Sleek focuses on smoothing and frizz control. A Curl Can Dream includes care and styling products for curls and coils, with dedicated products for waves. Choose according to whether you want a smoother finish or more definition in your natural curl pattern.

So Silver and Brass Off

So Silver helps neutralise yellow tones in blonde and grey hair. Brass Off targets unwanted orange tones in lightened hair. Choose a toning product to match the unwanted tone and follow its recommended application time.

Who are MATRIX products for?

MATRIX products suit hairdressers and anyone who wants a home routine tailored to their hair type. Start with your main concern and choose a corresponding range. If your hair needs both hydration and tone correction, a hairdresser can help you decide how often to use each product and how to combine the steps.
