Kose Predia was born from a simple observation in Japan: modern life is tough on hair. Sun, styling, and stress can make color fade fast, leaving hair looking dull. Our chemists in Tokyo asked, 'What if we could protect hair color like we protect skin?' They looked to the sea, discovering a rare algae from the Izu Peninsula known for its resilience. This led to the Alga Complex, a patented formula designed to shield hair color from daily damage. Every batch is made in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, following strict quality standards trusted for decades. It’s not just a shampoo; it’s a color-care ritual developed by one of Japan's leading beauty houses, now trusted by customers who want their color to stay vibrant, longer.

Kose Predia Alga Shampoo Color Care - Vibrant Hair Color Protection is formulated with a blend of ingredients designed to protect and enhance colored hair. Key components include water and sodium laureth sulfate as cleansing agents to gently remove impurities without stripping color. Algae extract, a signature ingredient from the Predia line, provides moisture and nourishment, helping to maintain hair's vitality. Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) acts as a humectant to retain hydration and improve hair elasticity, reducing breakage. Silicone derivatives like dimethicone offer smoothing and detangling benefits, creating a protective barrier against environmental damage and heat styling. Botanical extracts such as chamomile and rosemary may soothe the scalp and add shine. Additionally, UV filters help shield hair from sun-induced fading, while amino acids and ceramides support the hair's natural structure, enhancing color retention and vibrancy. This combination aims to prolong color life, improve manageability, and promote overall hair health with a focus on gentle, effective care.
