Malibu C's vitamin C complex is formulated to chelate common minerals—like calcium, magnesium, copper and iron—so they rinse away without aggressive stripping. Each packet offers a concentrated detox step you can use weekly to refresh your color, reduce brassiness, and improve moisture retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this chelating packet remove mineral buildup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula uses a vitamin C complex and targeted chelating agents to bind metals and minerals deposited on hair and scalp. When applied to wet hair, the crystals dissolve and capture metal ions, allowing them to rinse out rather than remain attached to the cuticle. This lifts residues that cause dullness and discoloration without harsh surfactants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBinds calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and chlorine residues\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDissolves crystals in water for easy application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemoves buildup without removing salon color\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSafe for chemically treated and color-treated hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the correct way to use a packet for best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse the packet after shampooing: pour the crystals into your wet palm, rub with water to dissolve, and distribute from roots to ends.
