The sophisticated blonde with a golden glow: imagine the first sip of champagne in a crystal glass, a refined golden shade with warm, luminous highlights. That is Gems 23 Champagne.
Use and safety note
Direct pigment product: it deposits colour and does not lighten, so the final result always depends on your starting colour.
Carry out a strand test and a sensitivity test 48 hours before application. If you are unsure about your starting level, consult clichAIr or a professional before use.
What is Gems 23 Champagne
Gems 23 Champagne is a semi-permanent toning mask from the CODE ZERO Gems Collection. Its ammonia-free, ready-to-use formula deposits direct pigments for a warm, multidimensional golden blonde, enhancing shine and deepening blonde hues. No oxidiser is required and the colour fades gradually without unwanted residue.
Who it is for
Ideal for anyone with blonde or pre-lightened hair who wants a warm, sophisticated and multidimensional golden reflection without long-term commitment. Because the pigments are golden and the formula does not lift, the shade reads clearly only on a light base: on dark or mid-depth hair the effect is negligible. Formulated for professional salon use. At-home application is possible when your starting base matches the result you expect.

Results
A delicate, sophisticated golden blonde with soft, luminous highlights, silky shine and a natural radiance that illuminates the face. The intensity always depends on the starting base.
How to use
- Wash with a gentle shampoo to remove impurities and styling residue, then towel-dry to remove excess water. Do not apply conditioner or masks beforehand, so the pigment adheres perfectly.
- Apply the mask to damp hair, distributing evenly with a wide-tooth comb for uniform coverage.
- On blonde hair, leave on 5 to 15 minutes depending on the desired intensity; on pre-lightened or highlighted hair, extend up to 20 minutes for a more intense, vibrant shade.
- Add a little lukewarm water and gently massage to emulsify the colour.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, avoiding shampoo to preserve the intensity, then complete with Stabilizer pH 3.5.

FAQ
Do I need an oxidiser? No. It is ready to use and works without ammonia or developer.
Will it work on dark hair? No. It deposits a golden reflection without lightening, so on a dark or mid-depth base the result is not visible. A light blonde or pre-lightened base is required.
How do I get a more intense, defined shade? Apply on a pre-lightened base and extend the processing time up to 20 minutes, then seal with Stabilizer pH 3.5.
How do I soften the gold? Mix Gems 23 Champagne with a small amount of Gems C Clear: the Clear dilutes the pigment for a lighter, more delicate golden. To cancel warmth instead of softening it, use a cool shade such as Gems 01 Platinum.
