Pronounced “Filip Martins”.
All Philip Martin's products are made in Italy, precisely in Veneto, by Italian producers. Precisely for this reason we decided to put MADE OF ITALY in the logo , taking stylistic license to make it clear that the products are all products of Italy, made in Italy, by Italians.
The philosophy is based on 5 fundamentals well present and shared by all men and women Philip Martin's:
• THE BIO-ORGANIC. inebriating balance between nature and science in innovative, patented and certified plant formulation complexes. Natural and functional active ingredients, researched to make the product perform.
• THE GREEN. Bio-compatibility, respect for the environment and social responsibility are contained in the perfect combination of Bio-Organic active ingredients and Green chemistry. A union that makes each product effective, without the use of toxic substances.
• THE SENSORIALITY of Philip Martin's is a journey in which taste, smell and the resulting sensations lead the person to dream and relive unique moments. The resulting pleasure is the soul of the company's creations.
UNIQUENESS. Philip Martin's is not just a product, but a system that includes evolution, growth, competence, ability in an engaging way and with a strong personality. The training, consultancy, philosophy and concept store are designed to make each journey unique.
Philip Martin's does not carry out or commission tests on animals, in accordance with the provisions of European legislation, European Regulation 1223/2009 on cosmetic products. The guidelines of The EU also believe that the use of the wording “cruelty free” may imply that other companies are not and is therefore considered misleading. It is important to underline that logos depicting “bunny/cruelty free”, for which use is often registration with certain private bodies is required, they are not mandatory or necessary to guarantee compliance with current legislation.
Of course. We have created an email to which our technicians will answer all questions relating to product assistance both Skin Care and Hair Care: desk@philipmartins.it
Of course, we have created an academy called Tommy's Academy this year, in which we organize courses for hairdressers and courses for beauticians. Each professional is accompanied on the use of products, the technical support part, on the stimulation of their creativity with stylistic courses, on massages dedicated to each cosmetic line, for beauticians
Some products contain fragrances that contain allergens. They are written behind each product package. For particular questions, please ask for more information by writing to technicalsupport@philipmartins .it.
We cannot exclude that some products, especially during some manufacturing phases, have been contaminated by ingredients that contain gluten. However, no link has been demonstrated between skin absorption and celiac disease.
You will not find parabens in any Philip Martin's product. The parabens used to preserve the products have been replaced by naturally derived ingredients such as vitamin C and E. As you will see, the Pao (Period after open) i.e. the shelf life of the product after opening, indicated on each product, never exceeds 6 or 12 months, after which the product must be replaced with a new one. This indicates lack of parabens that last for years, but are considered by us to be harmful chemicals.
Nickel is a heavy metal present in many commonly used objects and foods and can only be present in cosmetics in technically unavoidable traces. Nor Philip Martin's nor are other cosmetic companies in a position to provide the certainty of the absolute absence of this substance in their products.

Philip Martin's products contain both natural (in some specific cases from organic farming) and synthetic ingredients. From the synergy of both we obtain high performance , professional quality and optimal storage and stability conditions. The list of ingredients of each product can be consulted on the packaging or directly in the salon, with the support of the hairdresser. It is important to remember that there is no specific regulation that distinguishes natural products. organic from other categories of cosmetics. Natural/organic products fall within the EU definition of cosmetics and must therefore comply with the safety and product information requirements established by this standard. Contrary to common consumer perception, ingredients (and products ) “natural” or “organic” are not necessarily safer than those of “synthetic” origin.
Peanut taken orally is often responsible for even serious allergic phenomena. The main nuts involved in food allergic reactions are almonds, hazelnut, walnut, cashew, pecan nut, Brazil nut, pistachio and macadamia nut. There are documented cases of cross-reactivity both between different nuts and with legumes As stated above, determining the presence or absence of ingredients derived from these substances requires extreme seriousness and caution. Although ingredients obtained from peanuts or tree nuts (e.g. almond oil) are present in some of our formulas, they are not added in the majority. of our products. In this second case, it is not possible for us to certify the complete absence of these substances. In the production of our cosmetics, a huge number of raw materials from different suppliers are used. The plants, locations and production processes are also varied. This complexity makes it impossible to guarantee that our products are 100% free of traces of substances capable of eliciting an allergic response in individuals sensitive to peanuts, tree nuts and legumes.
In predisposed people, yes, as can any other type of substance. For this reason, those who know they are sensitive to certain ingredients can and must read with pay attention to the labels before using the product or report it to your hairdresser before the technical service. We recommend always proceeding with the skin sensitivity test, the method of execution of which is reported in detail on the packaging/leaflet of the Philip Martin's È hair colour It is important to avoid contact with dyes if adverse reactions, such as spots or itching, have appeared following the sensitivity test.

As regards the use of our hair dyes during pregnancy, we recommend following the advice of your gynaecologist. In fact, although the ingredients are selected for To ensure high skin tolerability, it must be considered that during pregnancy the sensitivity of the skin is greater and therefore there is an increased risk of a sensitization or allergy reaction even in women who have never had such problems. For this reason , we do not recommend the application of any hair dye in the first trimester of pregnancy and, as regards the other months, we defer to the opinion of the gynecologist: some recommend the use of natural dyes starting from the 4th month, others recommend them only after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a hair dye used in oxidative coloring. It is also a contact allergen that can induce a delayed hypersensitivity reaction following exposure. In the Organic Base Color and Color Split color lines it is contained in a minimal part in order to guarantee the final color result, Philip Martin's is working to eliminate PPD from the dyes it is not present in any of the nuances. In Philip Martin's products with the words “Contains phenylenediamines” or “Contains diaminobenzenes”, the presence of an amine is identified, this wording is reported even if PPD is not present inside the product any dye is derived from amines.

Yes, in True Color. Ammonia is an alkalizer for hair used in oxidative coloring. This together with the oxidant helps to partially remove the natural color of the hair (melanin) to allow it to lighten up to 5 levels. After acting on the hair, ammonia evaporates easily, leaving the hair conditioned, producing healthy-looking hair with vibrant shine it is a product that is formed in the body due to the activity of many tissues, but mostly derives from the metabolism of food proteins and intestinal bacterial fermentations. It is also found in the food sector, given that it is a leavening agent used in pastry making. It should absolutely not be confused with Ammonia used for household cleaning even if they have a strong odor in common.
Yes, in Marmellatà and Glitch. MEA is a hair alkalizer used in oxidation coloring. main advantage of MEA is less chemical smell than ammonia, used at low concentration, there is no problem with color performance and hair protection. The MEA molecule is much larger (it is a liquid) it does not evaporate like ammonia molecule (a gas), so that's why it doesn't smell. This also means that MEA is more difficult to remove from the hair and can remain on the scalp/hair after shampooing and continue oxidation In the case of Philip Martin's, the concentration of MEA in our color is the minimum that can be included in a professional color to guarantee its performance, plus Oleic Acid has been added to facilitate its removal.

This is a substance (common name: stringy Vaseline) derived from the refining of petroleum lubricating oils, through various processes that guarantee its purity and safety, such that it can be used both in pharmaceutical products and in cosmetic products, in fact it is defined as white or refined petrolatum. Petrolatum used in cosmetic products, in fact, in addition to being compliant with the requirements of European Pharmacopoeia, also complies with the provisions of Italian and European cosmetics legislation. In Philip Martin's this ingredient is used as a viscosifier to stabilize the product and with a minimum concentration.
Yes, 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone commonly called Lawsone is the pigment that allows Henna, Lawsonia inermis, to color hair. Our dye herbs do not contain metallic or artificial substances, however it is good practice to always carry out a skin sensitivity test.
