The Stain Shield: Color Barrier Stick
Product Details
Overtone The Stain Shield: Color Barrier Stick is a 7 g chubby stick that helps protect skin from unwanted hair color stains, ideal for anyone who colors their hair at home and wants a cleaner, easier routine.
It’s suitable for all skin types and applies directly from the stick for quick, mess-free use.
Before applying hair color, glide The Stain Shield generously along your hairline, ears, forehead, neck, and any area that typically picks up dye. The solid balm format makes it simple to trace a clear barrier in seconds.
After coloring, wipe away any stained areas with a cloth or cotton pad, then massage any remaining product into unstained skin for added moisture.
The formula is Leaping Bunny and PETA certified and is made with 100% vegan, skin-nourishing ingredients, including sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, mango seed butter, murumuru seed butter, jojoba esters, and cucumber fruit extract.
It is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, synthetic fragrance, or dyes.
Overtone is a dedicated at-home hair color brand, and this stick is designed to pair with your coloring routine for more controlled, targeted application around the hairline.
Purchases are backed by free 30-day returns, adding convenience and value for regular color users.

This is perfect to keep on hand if you color your own hair. It worked so well. Kept everything off my skin and was very easy to wipe off.

Used this with the deep color conditioner and it truly worked. Kept the deep purple from my skin.
The deep color conditioner worked beautifully. My hair is soft and shiny, and the color is so rich. The purple looks a vibrant shade on all the white in my hair, and beautifully enriches my very dark brown/black hair. Combining this treatment with the daily conditioner has truly extended the color I did with my hairdresser. Highly recommend these products for extending the life of coloring, and being great for the health of your hair.

I was skeptical to use this product given I have dyed my hair so many times and NEVER been able to get the stains out but this product was so easy and effortless in removing stains from my face, hands and even counter top. I am a fully a believer, this is one of my favorite Overtone products!

Okay this barrier stick is actually sooo good. I always get hair dye all over my forehead and ears... this stops the color touching my skin. You just swipe it on and it blocks the color from my skin. It is not weird or greasy feeling. Plus it's vegan and cruelty-free, 💖 Who knew i needed this. LOL
