Luminous Colour Shampoo

Yes — it protects on several fronts. Colour fades from washing, heat styling, UV exposure, and free radicals. Luminous Colour combines Pomegranate Extract (which guards the colour and protects hair and scalp against dehydration and damage) with the Colour Guard Complex (which specifically reduces the colour loss caused by all those factors). Together they slow the fade so your colour stays vibrant longer and your colour service lasts closer to its full potential. It's sulphate-free too, and gentle cleansing is itself key to preserving colour.

Yes — Luminous Colour protects all colour-treated hair, from natural-looking tints and highlights to vivid fashion shades, and it's popular with grey-coverage clients too (one reviewer even noted her greys returning more slowly). It doesn't tone or deposit pigment — it's a protective, colour-preserving system rather than a toning one. If you also need to neutralise brassiness in blonde or grey hair, add the Sheer Silver range.

Yes — it's free from sulphates and parabens. Sulphate-free cleansing is especially important for colour-treated hair because harsh sulphate surfactants strip colour faster. The gentle cleansing system removes dirt and product without stripping the colour, which is a big part of how the shampoo helps colour last longer. A little goes a long way and it rinses easily.

Luminous Colour has a fresh, fruity scent of apple, blackberry, and peach — bright and uplifting. Like all Maria Nila fragrances it's designed to be pleasant without being overpowering, though scent is personal, so if you prefer floral notes the other Maria Nila ranges offer different fragrances.
