Sophic For Salons

Why is it called the Conscious Colour System?

A conscious lifestyle is a deliberate and thought-out life. It’s about being mindful of how we live our lives through the choices we make, and how those choices affect the lives of others. We create products for those who are aware of the impact they leave on the environment, hairdressers who are mindful of the toxic chemicals that they expose themselves and their clients to everyday, stylists who consider the social impact their consumption. We create products for the conscious colourist.

How is SOPHIC Pro better for mine, and my clients health?

We know that for a colour to have professional results, it must contain artificial ingredients. As years go on, and more research becomes available, we are discovering that some of the ingredients that have been traditionally used are the cause of major health concerns for both clients and hairdressers. We have chosen to exclude these from our formulas, and replace them with ingredients that are kinder to the environment and our health.

So is SOPHIC Natural, Organic and Toxic- Free?

‘Natural’, ‘Organic’ and other buzz words that are flying around are vague and unregulated. A natural ingredient doesn't always mean it’s safe (hello poisonous mushrooms!) likewise, a complex process of chemical reactions to create a product doesn’t mean it is harmful (aka... chocolate!)

We formulate our products to be gentle and accessible for everyone. We combine ingredients that have organic certifications with revolutionary technologies to create advanced formulations that everyone can enjoy. What is in the products is just as an important as what’s not.

So what ingredients has SOPHIC excluded from the Conscious Colour System?

Along with silicones, parabens, phthalates,PEGs, sulfates (SLS/SLES), GMO’s and synthetic fragrances.

The big 3 we have excluded are:

Ammonia

Ammonia is a corrosive colourless gas, used to open the hair cuticle and allow the colour to penetrate into the cortex. For our clients, direct contact can cause contact dermatitis, irritation and burns. For hairstylists, who are inhaling ammonia consistently while working in salon, ammonia has been proven to cause irritation and destruction to airways.

SOPHIC have replaced it with Cocomide – MEA, a coconut derivative that works in a similar way to ammonia, without being corrosive.

PPDs

Paraphenylenediamine is the colour pigment used to create dark tones. Reactions to PPD’s are becoming more prevelant. These reactions range from dermatitis, to more sever reactions of asthma, anaphylaxis and renal failure.

SOPHIC instead use para-toluenediamine (PTD’s) - meaning more than 50% of people with allergies to PPD’s will not experience adverse effects.


Resorcinol

Resorcinol is a colouring agent, responsible for yellow and green tones. It has been shown to be a skin irritant as well as an endocrine disruptor. We use a combination of a few different agens to achieve the same effect without the irritations.

What makes SOPHIC Sustainable?

At SOPHIC, we approach every decision with a deep sense of awareness and responsibility. We have designed our brand around waste, well... the lack of! All decisions are influenced by their impact on the planet – from our amber glass packaging, and way our products are packaged and shipped, to the geographical location of the harvested ingredients to the toilet paper we use in the office!

Is SOPHIC tested on animals?

Just our friends and family! SOPHIC is not tested on animals and is cruelty free.

Is SOPHIC Vegan friendly?

Absolutely! We haven’t heard our products say a bad word about a vegan yet.... (and we have no animal bi-products in our formulas).

  • “SOPHIC is one of the best colour system’s I have used to date. Having no harsh chemicals my client’s are blown away, not only by the results of how shiny and natural the colours are, but also how it doesn’t affect their scalps in the slightest. I'm absolutely obsessed! ”
