  • Good product for skull whitening, but use with care
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this 40-volume cream developer for a European mount on a whitetail deer skull, and overall it did a commendable job of whitening the bone. The thick, gel-style consistency made it easy to apply evenly across the skull, and I saw the bone lighten up quite nicely without much additional effort. What I liked: The creamy texture stayed in place well, so I could coat the entire skull without it running off. The lift action was strong enough that I achieved a bright, clean white finish—exactly what I wanted for the mount. It worked more affordably compared to specialty bone-whitening formulas I’d seen. What to watch out for: This product is designed for hair lightening—not originally for bone/mount preparation—so you’re essentially adapting it “off label.” Make sure you thoroughly clean and degrease the skull before application. With high-volume developers like this, there’s a risk of over-bleaching or damaging the bone if left on too long. Monitoring the process closely is key. After whitening, you’ll still want to seal or finish the skull properly for longevity and protection against yellowing or stains. Bottom line: If you’re doing a DIY European mount and want a budget-friendly solution that does whiten skulls effectively, this works. But treat it like a strong chemical tool—not a plug-and-play bone whitening kit—and follow good preparation and finishing steps to get the best result. ... show more

  • Use with fusion engine 93.377 million miles away to brighten yellowed plastics
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Product used to whiten/brighten/lighten the yellowed plastic topside of 3 trackman marble wheel mice. I cut the bottom off a clean juice jug and poured an ounce or 2 of Salon Care 40 into it. I used a cheap 1.5 inch disposable project paintbrush to brush it on each piece then put each into baggies and put them into the sun at 4pm in the mid April sun. I'm impressed, they are many shades lighter than they were and another application over a longer period in higher sun should finish the job and make the trackman tops like new. Tips: 1) Brush cleans with water. 2) I used rolls of pennies to weigh down the baggies to thwart wind gusts. The e-weatherman says next Wednesday will be a sunny day... ... show more

  • Great strength for bold lightening—but use with care!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used the Salon Care 40 Volume Creme Developer for a few bleaching sessions at home, and it delivers powerful results. It works best when you're trying to lift several levels of color, especially on dark hair. I paired it with a good quality lightener, and it significantly lightened my natural dark brown hair to a pale yellow stage in one round. Pros: Strong lifting power — ideal for dramatic lightening Creamy consistency — easy to mix and apply Good value — you get a lot for the price Works well with both powder and cream lighteners Cons: Can be very harsh on hair — definitely not for regular use Strong chemical smell Can cause scalp irritation or burns if left too long or used improperly Overall, a solid product for experienced users who know what they’re doing. Not beginner-friendly, but it gets the job done if used correctly and cautiously. ... show more

I have been using this product for years, it works. This bleach developer works really well! It mixes smoothly with bleach and helps achieve the desired lift evenly without causing excessive damage.
