Aveda Color Control Conditioner for Color-Treated Hair, 1.3 fl oz — Silicone-Free, Lightweight Shine

This compact 1.3 fl oz tube delivers professional-grade color care in a travel-friendly size. Formulated with 97% naturally derived ingredients, including apricot oil and a Botanical Acid Complex, the conditioner smooths hair fibers while helping to reduce color fade, leaving strands soft and glossy without weighing them down. Aveda’s Pure-Fume aroma adds a subtle botanical scent from osmanthus, organic orange and cedarwood for a sensory finish.

How does this conditioner help keep color vibrant?

The formula targets the hair cuticle to create a smoother surface that reflects light and helps lock in pigments. Botanical ingredients work together to reduce the rate at which color fades, so treated hair maintains richer tone over time.

• Seals the cuticle to minimize pigment loss and surface dulling
• Apricot oil and lactic acid provide shine and smoothing
• Designed for use after Aveda Color Control Shampoo and with Leave-In treatments

Will it weigh down fine hair or leave residue?

No—this silicone-free conditioner is formulated to detangle and soften without heavy coatings. Lightweight emollients provide slip for easier combing and styling while leaving hair clean and manageable.

• Silicone-free texture that rinses clean
• Detangles to reduce breakage during combing
• Leaves a touchable finish rather than buildup

Is it safe for chemically treated or highlighted hair?

Yes. The product is created to be compatible with color-treated, highlighted and otherwise chemically processed hair. It conditions strands while helping to protect the color molecules embedded during salon services.

• Specifically formulated for color-treated hair types
• Free from harsh sulfates and common irritants that can accelerate fading
• Can be used alongside other products in the Color Control range

What ingredients provide the shine and smoothing effect?

A blend of plant-derived components contributes to surface smoothness and light-reflecting shine. Omega-9-rich apricot oil softens fibers while a Botanical Acid Complex, including bio-fermented lactic acid, helps refine the cuticle for a polished look.

• Apricot oil for nourishing, non-greasy shine
• Botanical Acid Complex to smooth and seal the cuticle
• 97% naturally derived formulation per ISO 16128

Who this is for: Aveda Color Control Conditioner suits anyone who wants to protect salon color while keeping hair soft and lightweight—especially travelers, people with color-treated or highlighted hair, and those seeking plant-forward, silicone-free care. It works well across hair types and textures, and pairs with other Aveda Color Control products for a complete color-preserving routine. With Aveda’s vegan, Cruelty-Free certification and B Corp commitment, it also appeals to shoppers prioritizing ethical and cleaner-beauty choices.
