40 Volume Creme Developer, Strong Lift Formula, Easy to Handle Cream Consistency, Can Be Used as a Bleach Booster, 16 oz

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.

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. I love that it’s consistent and reliable, making the whole hair coloring process much easier. It also has minimal odor compared to other products I’ve used, and it doesn’t irritate the scalp when applied carefully. Overall, it’s a high-quality product that delivers professional results at home. Highly recommend for anyone doing hair bleaching or coloring!

Works perfectly

Only developer i use

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.

Works great for skull whitening. Perfect for Euro's skull mounts.
