Cancel the brass. Keep it cool, bright, and silky.
A violet toning wash for blonde, grey & silver hair.
Toning Cleansing Base neutralizes unwanted yellow and brassy tones on contact — leaving blonde, grey, silver, and highlighted hair cooler, brighter, and softer, without weighing it down.
"For my blonde and silver clients, this is the at-home step that keeps their color cool between visits — it lifts the yellow out without drying the hair like a lot of purple shampoos do."
Blonde, grey, silver, and highlighted hair all share one enemy: brassiness.
Over time, sun, hard water, heat, and oxidation pull warm yellow tones to the surface, dulling cool, clean color. Toning Cleansing Base is a violet toning wash that neutralizes that yellow on contact — leaving hair cooler, brighter, and silkier, without weighing it down. Built on a gentle dermotricology cleansing base rather than a harsh one, it tones while respecting the scalp, so you get salon-fresh, cool-toned color at home with soft, conditioned hair.
Why violet cancels yellow
It's color theory. On the color wheel, violet sits directly opposite yellow — so a violet pigment deposited on the hair optically cancels yellow and brassy warmth, the same way a color-correcting concealer works on skin. That's what this wash does: its violet toning pigment coats the surface just enough to neutralize yellow, making blonde look cooler and grey and silver look clean and bright. (Blue toners cancel orange, for brunettes — this is a violet toner, for yellow in lighter hair.)
Inside the formula
Violet Pigment (CI 60730 / Acid Violet 43)
The workhorse violet colorant in toning shampoos — deposits just enough cool pigment to cancel yellow brassiness, without staining hair purple at normal use.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Coats the cuticle to help fragile blonde, grey, or white hair feel stronger, smoother, and silkier.
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)
A conditioning antioxidant that supports a healthy-looking, silky finish.
Lactic Acid
Keeps the wash at a mildly acidic, scalp-friendly pH that helps the cuticle lie flat.
Balanced Cleansing Base
A cleansing system that removes buildup and residue while respecting the scalp, so hair is left clean but not stripped.
Dermotricology Care
Part of the Kapyderm system, formulated in Spain over 35+ years of dermatological practice.

What does it do?
It's a violet toning shampoo. It neutralizes unwanted yellow and brassy tones in blonde, grey, silver, white, and highlighted hair, leaving color cooler, brighter, and cleaner — while conditioning so hair stays soft.
How is it different from a regular purple shampoo?
It's built on a gentle dermotricology cleansing base with hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin E, so it tones without the dryness many purple shampoos cause. The violet pigment does the color-correcting; the conditioning base keeps hair soft.
Who should use it?
Anyone with blonde, platinum, silver, grey, white, or highlighted hair that turns warm or yellow over time. It targets yellow tones specifically — if your hair goes orange (more common in brunettes), that's a job for a blue toner instead.
How long do I leave it on?
Between 2 and 5 minutes. Longer gives more toning; shorter gives a subtle refresh. On very light or porous hair, start short — violet pigment tones faster and you can always repeat.
Will it stain my hair purple?
At normal use it deposits just enough pigment to cancel yellow, not to dye hair purple. The main thing to watch is dwell time on very light or porous hair — start with a shorter time to stay in control.
How often should I use it?
Once or twice a week, in place of your regular shampoo, or whenever brassiness starts creeping back.
