With the launch of Color Purity, Innersense Organic Beauty sets a new standard for clean, safe, and effective high-performance hair color systems


Award-winning clean beauty brand Innersense Organic Beauty recently announced a groundbreaking expansion into professional hair color with the launch of Color Purity. With as many as 38% of color users experiencing some form of irritation or reaction due to hair dye, and an even higher risk for professional colorists, Innersense's Color Purity sets a new standard for clean, safe, and effective high-performance hair color systems.

Born from five years of development and nurtured in salon environments, Color Purity is meticulously crafted to prioritize performance without compromising health and wellbeing. The result is a revolutionary hair color system that delivers brilliant non-toxic color with outstanding performance on all hair types and textures.
"Innersense is committed to pushing the boundaries of clean beauty without sacrificing performance," says Greg Starkman, Co-Founder of Innersense Organic Beauty. "With Color Purity, we're not just launching a new product line; we're introducing new color chemistry that creates a new standard in professional hair color – one that prioritizes both stylist and client health and the planet. We believe that stylists and clients alike deserve nothing less than exceptional results without compromise."

The Color Purity Collection includes 40 oxidative True Color shades plus opacity-adjusting White, 5 Clean Developers and 2 Pure Brilliance Lighteners in both Cream and Powder formulations. True Color's Adaptive Dye Blends are customized by shade, allowing them to be fully intermixable across all tonal families. When mixed with Innersense's revolutionary Clean Developer, True Color can achieve flawless permanent, demi-permanent and high lift results, all within the minimalist portfolio. Embodying Innersense's commitment to sustainability, all shades are intentionally designed to work seamlessly together, allowing for easy customization while elevating the color experience and eliminating the need for a second demi line.
True Color's Adaptive Dye Blends include new innovative 2MD chemistry, a gentler replacement for traditional PPD and PTD dyes. 2MD Technology limits the sensitizing potential of color, improving the salon experience without compromising on results.
