Another amazing feature of Tela Magic is that it comes in an airless pump package.  This means the container requires no air intake to dispense the product.  No air gets into the bottle therefore no air contacts the actual product.  So why is this a benefit?  It helps preserve the life of the product by keeping air out.  Let’s look at the big picture…

Keeping formulas fresh has always been a priority at Philip Pelusi.  Philip uses only a small amount of a safe preservative system, enough to keep his formulas fresh while never interfering with the formula’s performance or safety.  Each formula is delicately balanced.  This can be challenging with certain formulas that contain so many organic ingredients such as Tela Magic, Color Lock+ and Cashmere.  So, they are bottled in airless pump packaging.

But not every Philip Pelusi product comes in an airless pump.  Why?  Because not every product needs to be in airless pump packaging for preservation and because not every product can easily dispense from an airless pump.  All Philip Pelusi formulas have a very long life, generally 3 – 5 years after they are opened and 7 years unopened.  Especially when products are stored in a room temperature environment with the lid on or the cap closed.

Also, an airless pump doesn’t leave any of the product unused.  A plate pushes, or “lifts” the product up from the bottom of the bottle until it is all completely dispensed.  And it is an environmentally friendly package as is all Philip Pelusi packaging.

Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Hydro Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex

by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Also in Tela Magic is our gold standard Hydro Charged Pelusi Ceramide Complex.  This is a non-texture specific mixture of plant derived ceramides that mimic the ceramides found in between cuticle layers, helping seal each cuticle layer to each other and to the cortex.  This proprietary complex strengthens, hydrates, helps protect color and creates shine.

You can literally see the incredible results in these before and after images of a magnified hair strand!  The after image shows a much smoother cuticle layer!  This means stronger, shiner, more color protected hair.

Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Hydroxypropyl Gluconamide

Philip added some big tech to Tela Magic!  This is where science meets nature, enabling us to significantly improve the internal structure of the hair and do what we believe also meets today’s marketplace needs by combining technology into a product with over-the-top organic cache. 

Next, he added the patented chemistry of Hydroxypropyl Gluconamide to Tela Magic.  This natural origin bond multiplier strengthens damaged hair fiber three times more than untreated hair.

As we know, damaged hair has compromised or broken bonds and links.  Hydroxypropyl Gluconamide rejuvenates damaged hair back to the levels of virgin hair working deep into the cortex to create new hydrogen and ionic bonds.  Helping hair look, feel, and perform like healthy virgin hair.  The cherry on top of this incredible ingredient is that it has a good sustainability footprint.

This image shows the cross section of several hair strands before and after they have been treated.  The “after” image shows the intense penetration of this ingredient into the hair fiber, evidenced by an almost 100% penetration level.

Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Hexapeptide-11

by Nikki ~ Product Education Director

Philip added a lot of big tech to Tela Magic!  This is where science meets nature, enabling us to significantly improve the internal structure of the hair and do what we believe also meets today’s marketplace needs by combining technology into a product with over-the-top organic cache.

We know as we age, hair loss occurs due to the reduction of the anagen or active growing cycle phase of hair growth in the internal hair bulb.  Hexapeptide-11, a bio fermented peptide, helps improve collagen production in the hair bulb.

This improves follicle integrity and health resulting in a reduction in hair loss, an increase the size and smoothness of the hair bulb while providing anti-inflammatory properties and preserving antioxidant activity. Plus, it helps improve skin elasticity.

Check out these microscopic images of a hair bulb before and after use of Tela Magic’s Hexapeptide 11 where it’s clear to see it’s dynamic effects…
