Hydrogen peroxide at 12% activates high-lift colour formulas, combining lightening and colouring of natural hair in one service. Cetearyl alcohol forms a cream base for even mixing and application, while the adjusted viscosity improves the mixture’s adherence to the hair.
The 40 VOL developer is designed for high-lift colouring services that lighten natural hair and develop colour in one procedure. Use it with the appropriate cream colour; this strength is not recommended for Progressive Blue or Superstar bleaching powder.
Hydrogen peroxide is the oxidising ingredient in the formula. Cetearyl alcohol forms the cream base, while the stable formula with a carefully adjusted pH and viscosity helps create a smooth mixture that is easy to apply and distribute evenly. This supports precise work with the hair colour product and helps control coverage.
Cream developer for professional hair colouring
The cream is designed for high-lift colouring services. Its stability, pH and viscosity help create an even colour mixture.
Product and applications
ABSOLUK Oxidant Cream 40 VOL is a professional cream developer containing hydrogen peroxide at 12%, mixed with a suitable ABSOLUK hair colour product. The formula’s stability, pH and viscosity are tailored to preparing and applying a smooth, even mixture.
What does this product help with?
Suitable for high-lift colouring services. The cream consistency and balanced viscosity help blend both components into a smooth mixture and apply it evenly to the hair. Select the strength according to the intended colouring service.
Key ingredients and how the formula works
- Hydrogen peroxide — the oxidising ingredient at a concentration of 12%.
- Cetearyl alcohol — an ingredient that forms the cream base.
- Stabilised formula with pH and viscosity tailored to the colouring system.
The hydrogen peroxide concentration determines developer strength, while the cream base helps combine both mixture components evenly. Formula stability, pH and viscosity are tailored to the ABSOLUK colouring system so the mixture is easy to apply and adheres evenly to the hair.
Key features
- Strength: 40 VOL (12%).
- Balanced cream formula for even mixing.
- Compatible with ABSOLUK permanent cream colour.
- Volume: 150 ml.
How to use
First select the service and the colour or lightening product. In the ratios below, the first part means the amount of colour and the second the amount of developer; amounts are given in grams. Choose the conditions for using cream colour and bleaching powder separately.
Application steps
Weigh both mixture components and blend to a smooth consistency. Match the developer, ratio and processing time to the specific colour and service.
For high-lift colouring with the appropriate ABSOLUK cream colour, use an indicative ratio of 1:2 and a processing time of 45–55 minutes.
Blend both components to a smooth consistency and follow the instructions for the selected colour. Wear protective gloves and rinse the hair thoroughly after the service.
The 40 VOL (12%) developer is not recommended for use with ABSOLUK Progressive Blue or Superstar bleaching powder.
Before use, read and follow the application and safety instructions on the product packaging. Wear protective gloves during the professional service.
Mixing examples and processing times
- For a high-lift service: 50 g of the appropriate cream colour + 100 g of this 40 VOL (12%) developer, ratio 1:2; approximately 45–55 minutes.
- For a smaller mixture, keep the same proportions: 25 g colour + 50 g developer. Choose the processing time according to the service; do not reduce it in proportion to the amount of mixture.
- Do not use these cream colour mixing ratios as a universal recipe for bleaching powder. The 40 VOL (12%) strength is not recommended with Progressive Blue or Superstar.
Preparing the mixture and finishing the service
Weigh each component, mix thoroughly to a smooth cream consistency and apply using the chosen colouring technique. After the service, rinse thoroughly and follow with suitable hair care.

Product story
Within the ABSOLUK colouring system, the developer has a clear role: it activates the selected colour for the specific colouring service. Oxidant Cream has a balanced formula with carefully matched concentration, stability, pH and viscosity to produce a smooth, even mixture. Attention is therefore given both to developer strength and to how the prepared mixture is applied and distributed through the hair.
The cream consistency makes application easier and helps the mixture adhere to the hair. This is an essential part of professional colouring, where the desired shade must be combined with a carefully chosen technique. The 40 VOL (12%) version in a 150 ml pack is designed for high-lift colouring services.
Oxidant Cream complements ABSOLUK permanent cream colour and the brand’s lightening system, subject to the strength limits for each technique. The different strengths let professionals select a developer suited to the specific service. This creates a coherent workflow: first choose the intended service, then match the colour, developer strength and mixing ratio to that goal.

About Absoluk
Absoluk is a Spanish professional haircare brand headquartered in Zaragoza. Its collection covers hair colouring, care and styling, with products for professional salon services and maintenance between appointments.
The main product collections are permanent colour, Technicals, Diagnostic and Style+Care. This structure makes it easier to select products for a particular goal: maintaining colour, caring for chemically treated hair, defining natural curls or creating a fuller-looking style.
What is Absoluk known for?
Permanent Hair Color Cream features Keraglycol technology. The manufacturer associates this technology with protecting the hair and scalp during colouring, as well as improving softness and making detangling easier. Colour and developer selection should take account of the hair’s starting condition, the intended result and the individual product instructions.
The care collections address different needs. Blonde hair may require yellow-tone neutralisation, coloured hair may need colour maintenance, and chemically treated lengths may benefit from care focused on softness, flexibility and manageability.
