PHYTO Phytocolor permanent hair color 5.3 Light Golden Brown — ammonia- & PPD-free, 100% grey coverage, botanical pigments

PHYTO Phytocolor 5.3 Light Golden Brown is a permanent, salon‑quality hair dye that delivers rich, natural golden-brown color and 100% grey coverage using plant-derived pigments without ammonia, PPD or resorcinol.

Designed by PHYTO's French botanical experts, this at‑home permanent color kit combines concentrated botanical pigments with a gentle developer and a color-protecting mask. The pack contains a coloring cream and milk developer (each 1.69 fl.oz.), a 0.42 oz color mask, gloves and instructions so you can mix and apply a full coverage shade in about 30 minutes. The formula focuses on even, luminous results while minimizing harsh odor and aggressive chemical content.

How does Phytocolor achieve such even, natural-looking coverage?

The formula uses up to 74 plant-derived pigments that envelop the hair fiber to create depth and shine, producing a multi-dimensional finish rather than a flat tone. The permanent dye system works with the included developer to lift and deposit color uniformly, which helps cover resistant grey hair from the first application.

• Contains botanical pigments sourced from five dye plants for layered color.
• Includes milk developer and coloring cream for controlled mixing.
• Designed to deliver consistent tone and luminous reflections.

Is this safe for sensitive scalps and people avoiding harsh dyes?

PHYTO Phytocolor is formulated without ammonia, PPD and resorcinol to reduce exposure to common irritants and strong odors. However, as with any permanent hair color, a skin sensitivity (patch) test 48 hours before use is recommended to check for individual reactions.

• Ammonia-, PPD- and resorcinol-free for a milder scent and gentler application.
• Includes step-by-step instructions and gloves to limit direct skin contact.
• Patch test advised 48 hours prior to application for safety.

How long does the color last and what aftercare helps maintain it?

This is a permanent color system designed to resist regular washing and fading while maintaining shine thanks to pigments that wrap the fiber. Using the included color-protecting mask after coloring and choosing color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos will extend vibrancy and keep hair feeling conditioned.

• Permanent color with long-lasting pigment deposition.
• Color-protecting mask included to lock in shine post-application.
• Recommended: gentle, color-safe haircare to preserve the tone.

How do I use this kit for best results at home?

Follow the enclosed leaflet exactly—mix the coloring cream with the milk developer, apply evenly to dry hair, and time the processing as instructed (typically up to 30 minutes). Rinse thoroughly, shampoo if directed, and finish with the included mask to seal color and add softness.

• Mix coloring cream and developer in recommended proportions in a non-metallic bowl.
• Apply evenly, start timing once application is complete—up to 30 minutes.
• Rinse, then apply the color-protecting mask for improved shine and manageability.

Who is this for: PHYTO Phytocolor 5.3 Light Golden Brown is aimed at people seeking permanent, natural-looking golden brown shade with full grey coverage who prefer formulations without ammonia, PPD or resorcinol. It suits at-home users who want salon-style results with botanical pigment technology and a gentler scent profile, plus anyone looking for a compact kit that includes developer, color cream, aftercare mask and gloves for one complete application.
