Take blonde further—with no danger. Lift lighter with new Danger Jones Cream Lightener, formulated to deliver results safely.
Danger Jonesrecently introduced a more gentle approach to lightening, particularly well-suited for somewhat compromised, fine, or fragile hair–new Danger Jones Cream Lightener. Also great for on-scalp bleaching, offering 9+ levels of lift, the new lightener contains bonder inside to protect the hair, seaweed inside to protect the scalp, while pairing with Danger Jones Deluxe Cream Developers.
Alexis Thurston, Danger Jones Founder and Chief Product Developer, is herself a stylist who understands that clients are as different as hair products–and that one size lightener does not fit all.
“As a stylist, I know not every person who sits in my chair has the perfect canvas for bleaching,” she says. “That’s why we created our new Cream Lightener–to give stylists another option for lightening hair that’s a little more fragile or compromised. Similar to our Powder Lightener, our Cream Lightener lifts 9+ levels, contains a bonding complex to protect the hair, and includes seaweed to protect the scalp. We’ve also added more conditioning elements, like aloe vera and jojoba oils, for a slower, softer lift. You can use it on scalp, in foils, and for hair painting techniques, knowing it won’t swell or leave a waxy buildup. I especially love using our Cream Lightener for “tipping out” delicate ends after highlighting with our Powder Lightener.”
Meet the newest tool in your color kit: Danger Jones Cream Lightener. Designed for precision and performance, this new formula gives pros the power to lift with confidence while protecting the integrity of hair.

Q: What’s different about the Cream Lightener from Danger Jones Powder Lightener and when should I use it? Both contain a bonding complex to protect hair and seaweed to soothe the scalp. The Cream Lightener also includes Jojoba and Aloe Vera oils for added conditioning, giving a softer, slower lift—ideal for sensitive clients or fragile hair. Use Powder Lightener as your go-to, but reach for Cream Lightener when you need a gentler approach.
Q: What makes the Cream Lightener different from other cream lighteners? It lifts 9+ levels, contains a bonding complex, seaweed, Jojoba, and Aloe Vera oils, and leaves no waxy or oily residue. It also doesn’t swell in foils.

Q: What’s the Bonding Complex in the Cream Lightener? It’s made from Polycare Split™ and Arginine.
