Refectocil - Oxidant Liquid

What it is:
A stabilised 3 % oxidant developer liquid formulated for use with RefectoCil eyelash and eyebrow tints. It activates the tint by enabling the colour‑forming reaction when mixed with RefectoCil tint powders or creams, ensuring even, vibrant, and long‑lasting results. The gentle formulation is designed to be suitable for the sensitive eye area and provides consistent colour development when applied according to instructions.

Key Ingredients & What They Do:

• Aqua (Water) – Solvent base that carries and dissolves active ingredients for application and mixing.

• Hydrogen Peroxide – Oxidising agent that activates tint colour molecules and opens the hair cuticle to allow colour penetration.

• Triethanolamine – pH adjuster that helps stabilise the oxidant and ensure consistent reaction with tint.

• Phosphoric Acid – Helps maintain formula stability and appropriate pH balance for tint activation.

• C12‑13 Pareth‑9 – Surfactant/emulsifier that helps blend the formula evenly when mixed with tints.

FAQ Section

1. What is RefectoCil Oxidant Liquid and what does it do?
Oxidant Liquid is a stabilized 3% hydrogen peroxide liquid developer specifically formulated to activate RefectoCil cream hair colors. It enables brilliant, intense, and uniform color results when mixed with RefectoCil tints for eyelash and eyebrow services. The liquid consistency provides exceptionally even and precise application .

2. What is the 1:1 mixing ratio and how much should I use?
Mix equal parts of color and Oxidant Liquid at a 1:1 ratio. Using a standard measure, combine 2 cm of cream color (approx. 0.5 g) with 2 cm (approx. 10-15 drops) of Oxidant Liquid to form a creamy paste. Freshly mix the paste immediately before application .

Processing times vary by application:

• Eyebrows: 5 – 10 minutes

• Eyelashes: 5 – 10 minutes

Yes. Oxidant Liquid is specially formulated for use with RefectoCil Classic Colours cream tints.

5. What is the difference between Oxidant Liquid and Oxidant Cream?
Both products produce equally brilliant color results. The difference is purely texture preference: Oxidant Liquid has a liquid consistency that some professionals prefer for precise, even application; Oxidant Cream offers a thicker, creamier texture.
