Milbon nb Dye Oxidizer
Milbon's Oldiv Bote nb line packages hair color cream in 80g tubes across shade numbers from b3-NB through b8-NB, plus c5-NB. Some tubes are labeled "Oxidizer Separately," meaning the color cream ships without a developer so you supply your own, while others are labeled "Oxidizer Containing" for a bundled cream. This is a professional-grade hair coloring product formulated for use with a developer rather than as a stand-alone consumer dye kit.

How to choose a Milbon nb Dye Oxidizer shade
Milbon's Oldiv Bote nb tubes carry a shade code, a tube size, and an oxidizer label that tells you whether a developer is bundled in. Here is how to read those details before ordering.
What the Oldiv Bote nb line is
Oldiv Bote nb is Milbon's tube-format hair color cream, sold under shade codes such as b3-NB, b7-NB, and c5-NB. Each tube is 80g of color cream, meant to be mixed with a developer before application rather than applied straight from the tube.
Reading the NB shade numbers
The shade codes in this collection run from b3-NB through b8-NB, with a c5-NB variant also in stock. The letter-number combination identifies a specific shade within Milbon's nb numbering; check Milbon's official color chart or ask your colorist to match a code to a target tone before ordering.
Oxidizer Separately vs Oxidizer Containing
"Oxidizer Separately" tubes ship with only the color cream, so you need your own developer to mix and apply it. "Oxidizer Containing" tubes bundle a developer along with the cream, which is convenient if you do not already keep a separate stock of oxidizer.
Why this is a professional coloring product
The developer/oxidizer terminology on these tubes signals a salon-style permanent hair color system rather than a boxed home dye kit. If you are not used to mixing and applying professional color cream, working with a colorist is the safer route.
What the 80g tube size means for mixing
Every tube in this collection is 80g of color cream. That is the cream portion of the mix only; if you buy an "Oxidizer Separately" tube, you will need to add a developer at whatever ratio your product or colorist specifies.
Who this Milbon nb line suits
This collection suits colorists and salons restocking a specific Oldiv Bote nb shade, or home users who already know their target shade code and are comfortable mixing professional color cream with a developer.
Choosing between the available shade numbers
If you are matching an existing color, use the exact shade code from your last application rather than guessing from the product photo, since tube colors on screen do not reliably represent the finished result.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Oxidizer Separately" mean on Milbon nb Dye tubes?
It means the tube contains only the color cream, without a developer included. You need your own oxidizer to mix and apply it.
What is different about "Oxidizer Containing" tubes?

They are Milbon's shade codes within the Oldiv Bote nb line. This collection carries codes from b3-NB through b8-NB plus c5-NB; match the code to your last application or Milbon's official color chart rather than guessing from a photo.
Is the Milbon nb Dye Oxidizer for professional or home use?
The developer/oxidizer format is typical of professional salon color systems rather than a boxed home dye kit. Home users comfortable mixing color cream with a developer can use it, but a colorist is the safer route if you are new to it.
What size are the Milbon nb Dye Oxidizer tubes?
Every tube in this collection holds 80g of color cream, whether it is an "Oxidizer Separately" or "Oxidizer Containing" listing.
Do I need to mix the Milbon nb Dye cream with a developer myself?
Only if you buy an "Oxidizer Separately" tube. "Oxidizer Containing" tubes already bundle a developer, but you still combine the two components before application in either case.
