Pureology Introduces The First Ever Green Seal™ -Certified Beauty Product
Precious Oil™, The 100% Biodegradable,
Silicone and Paraben-Free Versatile Caring Oil
May 2012 (New York, NY) – Turn tired strands into silk with Pureology Precious Oil™ Versatile Caring Oil. This month, Pureology
announces the first Green Seal™- certified 100% Biodegradable, silicone and paraben-free, versatile caring oil. Precious Oil evenly
recharges every strand of all types of colour-treated hair and features Sunflower Seed Oil for softness, Coconut Oil for elasticity, Olive Oil
for shine and Jojoba Seed Oil for Moisture. The versatile caring oil also features the exclusive oil-based OleoAntiFadeComplex® that evenly
recharges the hair fiber, fortifies the cuticle, restores the lipid barrier and magnifies shine of lifeless colour-treated hair.
“Pureology’s new Precious Oil fills the gap in the colour care market for a versatile hair oil that promises to maintain haircolour while
providing exceptional softening, smoothing and shine benefits,” states Steven Henley, Senior Director of US Education for Pureology. “As
we all know, water is the biggest enemy of hair colour. The natural state of hair is to be hydrophobic, which means it repels water.
However as we colour our hair, our hair shaft weakens and becomes hydrophilic, thus attracting water and causing colour to leak from the
hair. Precious Oil penetrates the hair to rebuild the lipid content, thus returning hair from it’s hydrophilic to hydrophobic state. It literally
turns back the clock on hair damage!”
Precious Oil can be used in a multitude of ways to achieve a variety of results based on specific needs:
On Fine Colour-Treated Hair
• For Silky Conditioning: Before shampooing, apply 2 drops on dry hair. Do not rinse. Follow with the Pureology shampoo for
your hair type, work into a lather and rinse.
On Medium to Coarse Colour-Treated Hair
• For Exceptional Softness: After Shampooing, apply 1 to 3 drops to towel-dried hair. Layer with any Pureology rinse-out masque.
Leave on 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
• For Anti-Frizz Smoothness: After blow-drying, rub 1-2 drops in your hands and run lightly over dry hair. Reapply as needed.
• For Gentle Detangling: Apply 1 to 2 drops in palm and work through clean, damp hair. Beginning at the ends, use a wide-tooth
comb and gently work out tangles.
• For Curl Revitalizing: Apply a small amount in palm and run through curls.
All Types of Colour Treated Hair
• For Radiant Shine: Blend or layer 2 drops with your favorite Pureology style and style as usual. Finish with any heat or styling
tools.
• For Overnight Treatment: Apply evenly through hair before going to bed. In the morning leave in or rinse out.
On All Skin Types
• For Skin Softening: Apply on clean skin and massage in to moisturize.
