Phitofilos Crespino Barberry Bark Powder cold yellow hair toner 300g

Barberry Bark Powder

Phitofilos barberry bark is a 100% plant-based powder made from the bark of the common barberry (Berberis vulgaris). It is ideal for achieving light and cool reflections in the hair, particularly in blonde tones. The powder offers medium to high coverage, but when used on its own it does not form a creamy paste or adhere well to the hair. For best results, it should always be combined with plants or blends containing mucilage.

Barberry helps neutralise excess warm undertones and supports the creation of cool blonde or ashy shades. It can also be used between colouring sessions to refresh the hair tone or add shine without producing an intense colour change.

Crespino recommended blending partners:

Cassia Obovata (Cassia) – strengthening and volumising effect

Indigofera Tinctoria (Indigo) – for creating cool, ashy shades

Lawsonia Inermis (Henna) – to subdue red and copper undertones

Juglans Regia Shell Powder (Juglans regia) – for deeper, cooler brown tones

Curcuma Longa (Curcuma) – to balance yellowish hues

Result:

Gives the hair a cool, bright reflection, helps neutralise golden and warm undertones in blonde shades, and is ideal for use as part of herbal colour blends.
