OG or Pure? Which Aqua Drops® to Reach For

// The Geek Files · Consultation Guide

With Pure on the shelf next to the original, the most common question we get from artists is simple: which tube do I reach for? The answer is not "the new one". It's a consultation question, and here is the logic.

Reach for the original Aqua Drops® when…

  • Your client is an established tint client with no sensitivity history
  • You want the full 7-shade palette and intermixing freedom, including Ares red and the Zeus cool toner
  • You're doing corrective colour work that needs precise shade mixing
  • You work airbrush: the spray developer system is built for it

The original remains the flagship performance line: 53-peptide bond builder, up to 10 days on skin, 6 weeks on hair.

Reach for Pure when…

  • Your client is sensitivity-prone or has reacted to conventional dye before
  • It's a first-timer and you want the gentlest possible introduction
  • You're tinting straight after lamination, when the skin barrier deserves support, not stress
  • The client asks for PPD-free by name, and they increasingly do
  • You want speed: no mixing, no developer, 5 to 8 minutes, done

// The business logic

Two lines is not a choice between them; it's a wider menu. The original keeps your performance clients; Pure books the clients you used to turn away. Same chair, more revenue.

Shade mapping between the lines

Working across both? Rough equivalents: Nemesis → Onyx · Electra → Enigma · Apollo → Lustre · Aphrodite → Ignite · Selene → Aura. Pure has no red or cool toner; for corrective work, that stays the original's territory.
