Product overview
Garnier Color Naturals Creme Riche Nourishing Permanent Hair Color - 3.16 Burgundy 70ml+60g is an oxidative permanent hair colour kit with a Colour Lock oil-enriched formula, designed to provide full grey coverage in a Burgundy shade.
Key Ingredients
- p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) & Resorcinol — oxidative dye precursors confirmed in the formula; this means the product carries a genuine risk of allergic reaction and requires a patch test before use.
- Ethanolamine — used as the alkalizing agent in place of ammonia; the brand markets this as an "ammonia-free" formula on that basis.
- Hydrogen Peroxide — the developer that activates the colour during processing.
- Olive Fruit Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil & Sweet Almond Oil — plant oils confirmed in the formula, included as part of the brand's Colour Lock nourishing complex; marketing language referencing a larger number of "natural oils" is a broader brand claim rather than a fully itemised, disclosed count.
