Pearwood does two.

Fifteen minutes. Three botanicals. Zero compromise.

The Trade-off You've Lived With

You've never had to pick.
Until now, you did.

Traditional color delivers results but asks a lot in return. Gentler alternatives fade in weeks. For decades, restoring your natural tone has meant accepting a trade-off somewhere — in your hair's health, in your bathroom, in your time.

i.

The harshness of ammonia and PPD, woven into category standards for fifty years.

ii.

Semi-permanent alternatives that rinse out before you've seen a second week.

iii.

Salon visits at $150 or more, six times a year, for a result you could own at home.

The Pearwood System

Two layers.
One fifteen-minute ritual.

Pearwood is engineered as two formulations working in concert: a precision color layer that renews tone where you need it, and a botanical layer that surrounds every strand while the color works.

I.

The Color Layer

A precision tone-renewal system formulated without ammonia and without PPD. The alkaline carrier opens the cuticle gently — a calmer path to color that lasts.

Color deposits into the cortex for dimensional, lasting tone. Engineered to hold through wash cycles, not fade in fourteen days.

Formulated without ammonia and PPD.
II.

The Botanical Layer

The Pearwood Root Restore Complex™ — a proprietary blend drawn from centuries of East Asian hair tradition, infused throughout the formulation.

Anchored by three research-validated botanicals — He Shou Wu, ginseng, and ginger root — supported by a complete system of traditional herbal extracts.

Every ingredient earns its place.
Pearwood Root Restore Complex™

The botanicals at the center
of the formulation.

Three roots, one evergreen tradition. Each selected for its place in centuries of East Asian hair ritual, then formulated with intention.

He Shou Wu root tincture, apothecary still life

He Shou Wu

Polygonum Multiflorum

The crown root of Chinese hair herbalism. Prepared, steeped, and carried forward across a thousand years of recorded tradition — the botanical most closely associated with hair vitality in the East Asian canon.

Panax ginseng tincture, apothecary still life

Ginseng

Panax Ginseng

The foundational tonic of East Asian wellness. Rich in ginsenosides, traditionally used to nurture a healthy, vital-feeling scalp — the ground from which strong hair grows.

Ginger root tincture, apothecary still life

Ginger Root

Zingiber Officinale

Warming. Invigorating. Carried across Eastern and Ayurvedic traditions for the life it brings to the scalp and the quiet energy it delivers at the root.

The Complete Complex

Supported by a complementary system of traditional extracts — Dong Quai, Anemarrhena, and Biota Leaf — completing the Root Restore Complex™ at the heart of every bottle.

The Fifteen-Minute Ritual

Four steps.
No appointment required.

Pearwood is designed to replace the salon visit and the drugstore compromise in a single, quiet ritual you perform on your schedule — not someone else's.

01

Patch Test

Forty-eight hours before first use, apply a small amount behind the ear. Pearwood earns its place in your routine.

02

Apply

Dry or towel-damp hair, gloved hands. Work from root through length, section by section. The botanicals begin from the first minute.

03

Process

Fifteen minutes. Long enough to make a cup of tea. Short enough that it doesn't interrupt anything else.

04

Rinse & Reveal

Rinse until water runs clear. Style as usual. The tone is renewed — the ritual, complete.

What Changes

A calmer path
to the same destination.

Pearwood was formulated around a simple premise: you should not have to accept harshness to restore your natural tone. Every benefit below is a direct consequence of that choice.

15

Fifteen-minute application

Designed for a single session on your own schedule. Fifteen to twenty treatments per bottle, each under five dollars.

0.

Zero ammonia. Zero PPD.

A lower-alkaline system and a modern color architecture. The chemistry of color, without the vocabulary of harsh.

3.

Three hero botanicals

He Shou Wu, ginseng, and ginger root — the heart of the Pearwood Root Restore Complex™, in every bottle.
