Tela Magic Transformative Ingredient ~ Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil
by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
One of the key proprietary mixes in our NEW Tela Magic is the Tela Certified Organic Seed Oils! Chief among them our NEW Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil. How to pronounce? Pone-gam-ee-ah glah-bra Seed Oil!

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil is derived from the seeds of the Millettia Pinnata tree, native to South and Southeast Asia. This is a cold pressed non-fragrant plant oil. Cold-pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing. This is not required but insisted upon by Philip as it increases the potency and effectiveness of this hydrating marvel.
Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil contains 9 fatty acids (Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, Linoleic, Linolenic, Arachidic, Eicosenoic, Behenic and Lignoceric) which benefit the hair and scalp by nourishing and moisturizing. These also help as antiaging, slip, and heat protection agents.
Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil also has natural antimicrobial, soothing, and antioxidant benefits thus helping to protect hair’s strength and hair color from fading. Shine and some UV filtration properties benefit as well. Plus, it’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine to calm and heal skin issues, so this also helps the scalp as well. Ok, one more time, all together now…Pone-gam-ee-ah glah-bra Seed Oil!
Heading into 2025 consumers are interested in sun protection with extra benefits! And even though most are probably thinking in terms of skin protection, Philip has always thought of sun protection including the scalp and the hair.

Today, product lines touting their environmental safety seems to be the norm. But did you know that Philip Pelusi took this stance way back when he started creating hair care products over 50 years ago? It’s true! Philip Pelusi has NEVER created an aerosol product.
No aerosol sprays, no aerosol mousse, no aerosol anything, not even in the 1960’s and then again not in the 1980’s when these types of products were in high demand by the public from which he could have had thousands of products sales. But he still said no, aerosols do not fit into his product creation credo.
image source created in canvapro
Why? Well, we believe that Philip must have an internal crystal ball in which he can see into the future, seeing today’s “green” trend way ahead of anybody. But he could also see what was right in front of him too, meaning he looked around his salon knowing he wanted to help protect the safety of his guests, his stylists, their hair, and the environment from the foe of the aerosol product.
Philip believed then and still does now that he that does not want himself as a Designer, his employees or his guests breathing in harmful aerosol fumes day in and day out, week after week, month after month, year after year. So intuitive, he felt this would be dangerous to the body. Think about it, stylists doing hair in a relatively small space with fumes whirling about on a consistent basis. And it turns out decades later he was absolutely right!

Also, he believed that these aerosol carcinogens would inevitably be bad for the environment too. Perhaps not ruin the ozone layer on their own but be a contributing factor to poorer air quality for the consumer using the product.
Additionally, Philip’s chief concern has always been with the quality of the guest’s hair fabric. His mantra has always been that our hair is the most important fabric we wear. We wear our hair fabric every day! Hair products play one of most important roles in protecting and enhancing the hair texture and condition. So why put drying carcinogens onto the hair via aerosol sprays or mousse? Philip simply said no to that.
Instead, Philip created a strengthening non-aerosol mousse and 4 incredible non-aerosol styling and finishing sprays, P2 by Philip Pelusi Liquid Mousse, P2 Fluid Spray, P2 Define Root Lift Spray, P2 Rivet Finishing Spray and P2 Industrial Finishing Spray. All non-aerosol and containing good for the hair ingredients such as plant proteins and moisturizers, UV filters and antioxidants. And all of these formulas have been updated throughout the years too!
And one last mystery to unfold here, Philip’s intentional use of a small amount of an alcohol-derivative in his hairsprays so support his non-aerosol initiative. Why? Because all of Philip’s sprays are non-aerosol, they needed a way to get out of the bottle and onto the hair, to literally turn from a liquid into a spray. And SD-Alcohol 40 is a safe way to do this! Not a traditional “drinking” alcohol, this alcohol evaporates the second it hits the air.
Simply put, the liquid “spray” comes up from the bottle up through the dispenser and then when it leaves the bottle, the split second it hits the air, this alcohol-derivative evaporates turning the liquid into a fine mist allowing it to disperse onto the hair without any alcohol getting onto the hair at all. A non-aerosol workaround, if you will, to allow stylists and clients to get the hold and style they are looking for but with zero aerosol anything involved!

Today, there is a lot of conversation and marketing about ingredients. What is in a product and what is not in a product. But what isn’t talked about so much is the level of concentration of the overall formula. An ingredient can be a great ingredient but if there isn’t much of that ingredient in the product or the product is watered down, then it has no positive impact on the hair or scalp.
image source knowt
That’s NOT how Philip Pelusi creates a product. Quite the opposite, in fact. Philip hand selects the best quality, best result ingredients. But he also makes what are universally known as the highest concentrated formulas in the hair care marketplace.
Most product formulas on the market contain about 80% water and only 20% ingredient concentration. You can clearly see how ineffective these products and the ingredients therein would be to the hair and scalp. The ingredients simply serve a marketing purpose so the company can say “we have this or that ingredient” in their product.
image source skinresearchinstitute
Instead, Philip Pelusi products contain 80 – 100% active ingredient concentration and only 10 – 20% base blend ingredients! The opposite of other products on the market. P2 and Tela Shampoos and Conditioners contain 90-100% ingredient concentration and all other P2 and Tela products contain 80% ingredient concentration.
Every formula created needs some type of base for all other ingredients to be mixed into. Just like cooking. If I am making marina sauce, I will start off with the finest quality, cold-pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then add garlic and so on until I build the entire recipe of marina sauce.
image source foodandwine
The same is true with product creation. Most companies start with 80% water as their base and then add the actual “effective” ingredients. This is a much cheaper way to make a product. Philip does NOT make his products this way.
image source aloe goodhousekeeping
Also, Philip’s “10 – 20% base ingredients” are specially formulated “base blends” that additionally have benefits to the hair and scalp. Two examples of this are the 100% USDA Certified Organic Aloe in the P2 Shampoos and Conditioners and the 100% USDA Certified Organic White, Green and Oolong Tea in the Tela products.

But most guests don’t know this! It is up to us as Stylists to tell our guests this. As you all know, we are the catalysts to make the product come alive and special to the guest with information and styling tips etc.

Otherwise, it’s just stuff in a bottle and anyone can try to sell stuff! We don’t! Instead, we offer the path to achieving great, strong, beautiful, healthy, stylish hair! Philip Pelusi Stylist + Philip Pelusi Products = Beautiful Hair!

The well-known phrase “less is more” can be spot on when it comes to certain things in fashion 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.
image source superfruits exhibitamagazine
Philip’s Tela 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredient Blend is indeed rare in the haircare makertplace. 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…

Today, many consumers believe drinking tea helps enhance their health. Everything from fighting free radicals, aiding digestion, calming anxiety, boosting energy and helping provide a good night sleep are just a few of the possible benefits. But did you know that tea can also be extremely beneficial to the hair and scalp?
image source medicalnewstoday
Most haircare product formulas on the market contain about 80% water and only 20% ingredient concentration. While Philip Pelusi products contain 80 – 100% active ingredient concentration and only 10 – 20% base blend ingredients!
Yep, that’s right, there is zero water in just about every Philip Pelusi formulation and instead an active ingredient base blend takes its place. This means this base blend not only serves as the formula’s mixing base but also benefits and enhances the hair and scalp. In addition, this gives Philip Pelusi products the great reputation as having the highest concentration levels in the industry.
One of these incredible base blends is in the Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi products. This zero-water product line is instead based in the three most powerful antioxidants teas, White, Green, and Oolong. This highly concentrated tea infusion takes the place of water in the Tela formulas.
image source green tea thehealthy
So how does this amazing base blend benefit the hair and scalp? Well, first the consumer is not wasting money on water. Philip’s formulas are not watered down like most products on the market. This means more beneficial ingredients in each bottle and this means better results on the hair.
image source white tea medicaldaily
Also, Philip’s proprietary Tela White, Green and Oolong Tea blend has supercharged antioxidant power helping protect both hair color and the strength and moisture retention of the hair and scalp against environmental toxins, known as free radical pollutants, as well as helping prevent oxidation caused by the color and chemical service exposure.
Oolong Tea image source Healthline
And lastly, as with every Philip Pelusi ingredient, this superhero antioxidant White, Green and Oolong Tea blend is also enhanced by Micro Emulsion Technology. Meaning these tea molecules are perfected to be small enough to penetrate hair fiber to get real results.
image source canvapro
Other products on the market, can claim their products contain a certain ingredient but if it is not manufactured with Micro Emulsion Technology it can never penetrate the hair meaning it’s just a fancy marketing claim with zero results. That’s just not how we do things at Philip Pelusi!

Burgers at Philip Pelusi? No, not really but you’ve probably heard of Burger King’s “Impossible Burger”, Nestle’s “Awesome Burger” and Dunkin’s “Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich” all touting the benefits of these vegan or vegetarian plant-based protein sourced foods.

We are not far off the mark in some respects with the amazing plant-based protein source of our USDA Certified Organic Quinoa found throughout Philip’s Tela Beauty Organics products. But please don’t eat it, we’re talking about its incredible benefits to the hair and scalp!
Quinoa has an interesting history. Known as the ‘Sacred Mother Grain’, it’s been written that “the origins of quinoa date back 3,000 to 4,000 years, when it was first used for consumption in the Andean region of Bolivia, Peru and Columbia” and that “Incan armies survived on while on long marches”. Its also been written that “quinoa was proposed by NASA to be an ideal food for long duration space flights”.

So, what makes our quinoa so incredibly beneficial and strengthening to the hair? Our quinoa ingredient is a USDA Certified Organic Quinoa and is considered a complete protein meaning it contains all 8 essential amino acids; isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, threonine, histidine, tryptophan and valine. This means Philip’s quinoa protein helps to create stronger, more resilient hair with brilliant shine, reduced frizz and heat protection. Hair feels lux and silky smooth.
image source canvapro
Philip’s USDA Certified Organic Quinoa is a gluten-free protein and has proven substantivity to the hair, meaning its molecular size has been perfected through Microemulsion Technology for the very deepest and long-lasting penetration for powerful protection and reparative effects to the hair.
And Philip also chooses the very best quality USDA Certified Organic Quinoa Oil, meaning cold-pressed, expressed from quinoa seeds to hydrate the hair and scalp. Cold pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing. This is true of any cold pressed oil even oils we cook with such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Just check the label to see if it’s a cold pressed version.
