RefectoCil’s entry into the US market is a milestone in the international development of the brand. Prior to this launch, many American salons have not been offering eyebrow and eyelash tinting; California had banned the practice completely. Similarly, it’s hard to find the service in states such as New York, Connecticut, and Illinois.
INTENSE BROW[N]S by RefectoCil is different from all other products on the market. The FDA has deemed the color additive Silver Nitrate approved for brow and lash tint. It is also vegan and suitable for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) amended the color additive regulations to provide for the safe use of silver nitrate as a color additive in professional-use only cosmetics to color eyebrows and eyelashes. This action is in response to a color additive petition (CAP) filed by GW Cosmetics (parent company INTENSE BROW[N]S by RefectoCil and EAS Consulting Group.
“This is the first color additive to be approved by the FDA in many years and represents a considerable effort between GW Cosmetics and EAS experts to meet the rigorous requirements set by FDA for color additives,” says EAS Independent Advisor for Cosmetics and Colours, John Bailey Ph. D. Bailey, in collaboration with other EAS experts, worked with GW Cosmetics on the CAP.

Eyebrow and eyelash tinting provide a quick lift to the face and clients tend to look younger. Four intense brown shades were developed:
Ash Brown, Chocolate Brown, Deep Brown, and Black Brown.
The coloring system is for “Professionals only” and was developed as a 2-step system: In the first step, the BASE GEL is applied in the desired color nuance, and in the second step the ACTIVATOR GEL follows, giving the eyebrows and eyelashes the desired color depth.
The coloring system is for “Professionals only” and was developed as a 2-step system.
With the newly developed INTENSIFYING PRIMER, which can optionally be used as a pre-treatment, a stronger makeup effect and longer-lasting results are achieved while the skin is also prepared for even tinting. Medium for a more subtle effect, and strong for a very intense finish.
Three effective coloring techniques allow almost every (brow) wish to be fulfilled. The best results for a particularly intense look are achieved with the full brow technique. The ombre shading technique gives the eyebrows a natural, feathery look, and the brow filling technique creates contoured and defined brows.
