Tone Activator 6 & 13 Vol — Professional Semi-Permanent Color Developer (Licensed Professionals Only)

Vitality's Tone Activator 6 & 13 Vol – Professional Developer for Tone Shine & Tone Intense

Vitality's Tone Activator is the dedicated professional developer engineered exclusively for use with Vitality's Tone Shine and Vitality's Tone Intense semi-permanent color formulas. Ammonia-free and precisely calibrated to match the Switch-On Technology and acid pH chemistry of the Tone system, these activators ensure optimal color activation, maximum brilliance, and consistent, predictable results across every toning and semi-permanent service.

Available in two volumes to cover every service scenario — from the most delicate highlight toning to rich, intense, long-lasting color deposit. Available exclusively through Magica Beauty Pro, the official U.S. distributor of Vitality's Italian professional hair care.

Two Volumes. Two Professional Applications.

• 6 Vol (1.9%) — the gentlest option in the Tone activator range; specifically designed for toning bleached highlights, streaks, and balayage sections where color deposit needs to be precise and the hair fiber is sensitized or fragile; ideal for Gloss services with Tone Shine on both natural and color-treated hair; delivers soft, transparent tonal results with no risk of unwanted lift or cuticle stress
• 13 Vol (4%) — the standard volume for full semi-permanent color services with Tone Intense; produces more intense, deeper, and longer-lasting color deposit compared to 6 Vol; the go-to choice for gray blending services, first-color introductions, and any service where maximum color saturation and longevity are the priority

Why Tone Activator Must Be Used With Tone Shine & Tone Intense

The Tone system is a precision-engineered color platform. The activators are formulated specifically to match the pH level, viscosity, and oxidation dynamics of the Tone cream formulas. Using a third-party developer disrupts this calibration — affecting color accuracy, processing predictability, and the performance of the Switch-On Technology that delivers the Tone line's signature +44% brilliance increase. Tone Activators complete the system and guarantee the results clients expect from every Tone service.

The Scent of the Sea

One of the most distinctive features of the Tone system is its signature blumarine fragrance — a fresh, ocean-inspired scent that transforms the color service experience for both client and stylist. Where most semi-permanent developers carry sharp chemical odors, Tone Activator brings an olfactory dimension to the salon chair: an homage to the sea and the wonders of a tropical island. It is a small but meaningful detail that clients notice, remember, and talk about.
