In 1960, the world welcomed Schwarzkopf Professional's eternally popular IGORA ROYAL colour brand. Fast-forward to 2021 – after over 60 years of standard-setting innovation – IGORA ROYAL continues to be the expert name synonymous with colour.
Tried and trusted by millions of colourists around the world – thanks to high-performing, reliable products backed-up by relevant education and salon services – IGORA ROYAL is undergoing a complete restage that will officially hit markets from April 2021. This brings the popular brand into a new decade with modernised, sustainable packaging and simplified range assortments; all using the same trusted high-performing formula.
IGORA ROYAL: Restage
Schwarzkopf Professional truly supports colourists, which is why their brands, such as IGORA ROYAL, create an empowering circle of mutual trust for professional partners to learn and grow.

Schwarzkopf Professional understands that colour is the backbone of business for hairdressers and salons around the world, yet it is also the most demanding service offering, taking up precious time and requiring a range of skills. IGORA ROYAL's new streamlined portfolio is designed to simplify and improve these challenges with a whole new world of reliable colour creativity and the same high-performing, trusted formula:
IGORA ROYAL: The Portfolio
The extensive IGORA ROYAL portfolio has been condensed down from 13 ranges to five, creating intuitive sub-groups totalling 143 different shades – all featuring a brand-new logo and front-of-pack performance seals per subrange:
IGORA ROYAL Core
The iconic red block packaging remains for the core line, with a sharpened assortment of IGORA ROYAL's Fashion Lines being absorbed into the assortment (IGORA #RoyalTakeOver Dusted Rouge, Dishevelled Nudes, Lucid Nocturnes; IGORA ROYAL Opulescence; IGORA ROYAL Pearlescence; IGORA ROYAL Nude Tones; IGORA ROYAL Earthy Clay & Ashy Cedar, IGORA ROYAL Muted Desert). This creates a more harmonised offering, covering aspirational yet commercial colour trends, that is incredibly easy to navigate.
IGORA ROYAL Technical Lines
The dedicated technical lines will remain in standalone packaging – to clearly highlight the different technical usage – but with updated and modernised range colours on the box that respect the known range identifiers for easy product selection:
In time, the new design will also be rolled out to other products in the IGORA family, including: IGORA COLOR10, IGORA VARIO BLOND and the IGORA ROYAL Developers.
