The well-known phrase “less is more” is said to mean that “having just the essential things is better than having way too much of superfluous things and that this allows you to focus on what matters”. Well, this might be true when it comes to reflecting on what is most important in life but absolutely not true when it comes to building a hair care formula. Let’s explain.
Today, many haircare and skincare companies tout the idea that fewer ingredients somehow means a product formula is simpler and therefore more natural. They allude to the idea that products containing longer ingredient lists are somehow bad and full of chemicals or bad ingredients. That might be true of other product manufacturers but NOT true of products created by Philip Pelusi.
Less ingredients means simply that there are less ingredients in their formulas. And anything containing less ingredients is simply less expensive to make, period. Again, this is NOT how Philip makes his products. One prime example of how more is more at Philip Pelusi is the Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Proprietary Blend of 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredients.
Wow, who else has a base blend of 35 ingredients?!?! Philip’s Tela 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredient Blend is indeed a rare breed. Philip’s precision-made blend of 35 USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Certified Organic antioxidants, anti-irritants, weightless moisturizers, strengthening proteins, super fruits, sun protection, and anti-color fade ingredients deliver optimum health and unprecedented anti-aging, healthy hair benefits. And is threaded throughout the entire Tela product line.
This magnificent blend not only amps up the fabulous results to the hair and scalp but also makes the formulas much more expensive to make. But Philip has always held a standard of a 100% commitment to quality. His formulas need to perform perfectly for his Stylists and Guests to get just the right results in the hair. Drumroll please! Here are those 35 ingredients…
