Roxie Oxidizing Emulsion

Roxie Oxidizing Emulsion Vol. 40 is a professional-strength hair developer designed for use with hair color products. Its primary active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, acts as a bleaching agent, lifting the hair’s natural color to allow for more vibrant and effective coloring. The volume 40 indicates a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide, suitable for significant lightening or lifting of hair color. The other ingredients in the formulation serve various purposes:
• Cetearyl Alcohol: Acts as an emulsifier and conditioner, helping to stabilize the emulsion and potentially reduce dryness.
• Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil): A common emollient that adds moisture and helps to condition the hair.
• Sodium Salicylate: May act as a mild antiseptic and/or help to improve the penetration of the hydrogen peroxide.
• Citric Acid: Acts as a pH adjuster, helping to maintain the optimal pH for the chemical reaction of the hydrogen peroxide.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: A surfactant that aids in the even distribution of the emulsion.
• Disodium Pyrophosphate: A stabilizer that helps to prevent the premature decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide.
• Sodium Stannite: A stabilizer that helps to prevent the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and may also contribute to the overall stability of the emulsion.
Important Safety Information: Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent. This product should only be used by trained professionals familiar with hair coloring techniques and safety precautions. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Improper use can cause significant hair damage, scalp irritation, or allergic reactions. Always perform a patch test before full application.
