Italian term

ambiente basico

Italian to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty hairdressing
- associazione di coloranti in diversi supporti (liquido, gel o crema) in ambiente basico.

Does this mean "in an alkaline solution" or does "basico" refer to something else here?

TIA

basic environment

covers the meaning 'pH above 7', but it would probably cover most other meanings as well...
I reckon the 'pH above 7' is meant, though
