Sweet Orange — Vibrant Copper Colour & Shine Treatment
Sweet Orange delivers a bright, vibrant copper tone full of warmth and radiance — bold, glowing, and full of life. It works by depositing plant pigments onto your hair, enhancing your natural base rather than masking it. Designed for those wanting a more expressive, luminous result, it infuses richness, brightness, and warmth into your colour with a radiant finish.
On grey hair, it transforms them into glowing copper highlights — soft, vibrant, and full of dimension.
On darker hair, it adds warmth, richness, and shine without lifting your base colour.
This is colour that enhances what you already have — just brighter, warmer, and more alive.
Perfect if you want:
A vibrant, bright copper tone
Greys that turn into glowing highlights
More warmth and luminosity
A bold yet natural-looking finish
Formulated with tinctorial plants and enriched with Australian native botanicals, Sweet Orange doesn’t just colour — it treats.
It helps strengthen and smooth the hair fibre while soothing and balancing the scalp.
100% plant-based colour
0% synthetic ingredients
Vegan and biodegradable
Results will vary depending on your natural base — always unique, always beautifully yours.
1 PREPARE YOUR HAIR
To prepare your hair for our organic colour treatment, follow these steps:
- Start by washing your hair twice with a clarifying shampoo to eliminate impurities, product buildup, and residues that could affect the colouring process.
- If you have been using silicone-based products, we suggest using our detox mask before shampooing to ensure thorough cleansing and remove stubborn buildup for even colour application.
- Avoid using conditioner before applying the organic colour, as conditioners can create a barrier on the hair shaft, potentially affecting the colour absorption.
2 COMBINE THE POWDER
To mix the powder effectively, combine it with hot water using three times the volume of water as the powder. Here are the recommended ratios for different hair lengths:
- For root-to-mid-length application, mix 100g of powder with 300g of water.
- For mid-length to full-length application, mix 150g of powder with 450g of water.
- For long hair and full-length application, mix 200g of powder with 600g of water.
Use a whisk to blend until the mixture resembles thick yogurt. To achieve the ideal result, we recommend using water a 70 degrees.
3 APPLY
Apply Rēcipe Botanica colour mix to damp, brushed hair using your hands or a colour brush. To enhance application, it is recommended to divide your hair into sections to ensure complete saturation. Ensure every strand is fully covered with the mud for the best colour results. If necessary, feel free to mix more product; a denser application provides superior outcomes with herbal colours.
4 RELAX
Cover your hair with a shower cap and unwind as the plants work their wonders. For our Natural Henna shade we recommend leaving the colour from 45 to 60 minutes. Feel free to try different timings and make adjustments accordingly. The longer the colour stays on your hair, the deeper and richer your hair colour will be. Since our dyes are completely chemical-free, you can keep them on all day for a more intense colour if you wish.
5 RINSE OFF
After the processing time, rinse your hair with warm water without shampooing. Then, apply conditioner and comb through it using a large comb or brush to remove any plant residues completely. Finally, style your hair using desired products.
6 WAIT FOR 48H
Allow 24 to 48 hours for the colour to develop its full hues. This waiting period will enhance the colour depth and fade any undesired greenish tones, unveiling a stunning shade. Refrain from shampooing your hair within this timeframe to let the colour set effectively.

I am really impressed with the colour. I died it 5 weeks ago and it has kept its intensity and is a really rich colour. Happy I found something to use at home that isn't full of chemicals. A real ginger thought that I was a natural ginger last week... no higher complement than that really.

Use por primera vez y me gustó mucho el resultado, no se cuánto va a durar pero mis canas tomaron un tono muy bonito nos son muchas pero las tengo enfrente y las cubrió como luces para mi cabello, lo recomiendo ampliamente, por saludable y honesto ❤️

As someone who lives in the sea (mermaid life 🧜🏼♀️) it’s really hard to find products that last and dont dry out my hair. This colour is honestly such a dream- as someone who is a ginger, it’s such a gorgeous vibrant shade that brings life back into my hair. It washed out so beautifully and my hair felt hydrated but also like my natural hair. I felt like the salon experience lasted for weeks, not just a few days like most treatments.
Couldn’t recommend this colour enough if you’re natural ginger or strawberry blonde.
