NEW! WE’VE GONE GREEN!

September 30, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

We never stop trying to make our botanical products even better — without changing the things that our customers love about them. So the entire Philip B® line is now environmentally friendly, with new paraben-, phthalate- and petrochemical-free formulations. Even better, we’ve slashed the carbon footprint for the journey of our products — from manufacturing to distribution– to the absolute minimum.

NEW LOOK!

September 29, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

We’re excited to announce that we’ve revamped our whole range, taking everything — bottles to labels and boxes and bags — to a whole new level of cool. The chic, elegant redesign achieves the one thing we’ve been missing up to now: luxurious packaging that’s worthy of our luxurious products. (A big thanks to our in-house designer, Alexey!) Plus, we’ve made our instructions and stellar ingredient lists easier to read, too. Enjoy!

NEW! Anti-Frizz Formula 57

September 28, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

The Inspiration: Hong Kong humidity; Philip was visiting during a monsoon.

The Solution: The definitive, climate-proofing mist to help you lock out humidity — even in sticky, triple-digit heat — while sealing in a glossy shine. Not only does this nutrient-packed elixir protect against heat styling, it also tames even the most coarse and unruly hair, miraculously warding off frizz for a naturally glossy, long-lasting blowout. Pure Lavender, Jojoba, Rice Bran and Soybean Oils also lend hair a perfect dose of moisture. The payoff: Lightweight definition, movement and shine without added weight. One drop and you’ll forget you ever had a bad hair-day.

Directions: Apply to damp hair before blow-drying, or style your hair with your fingers and let it air-dry.

New and improved! Cucumber & Blue Orchid Hand & Body Crème

September 27, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

The inspiration: A limited-edition release in 1994, our original Cucumber & Blue Orchid Hand & Body Crème is back by popular demand. (Women were still writing to request it, 14 years on!)

The solution: A mix of pure, soothing-yet-refreshing cucumber extract, cooling menthol and an airy dose of blue orchid essence. This time around, the luxurious formula has been updated with cutting-edge oligopeptide chains (proven to firm and tighten skin), plus pure hydrating Aloe and antioxidant Vitamins B5 and E. The moisturizing equivalent of a Bentley GT (that’s how our chemists refer to it in the lab), the crème’s botanical, green-floral scent is just as gorgeous and sexy as ever.

NEW! Lovin’ Hand & Body Crème

September 26, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

Extra-gentle and family-friendly, this deluxe hydrator is surprisingly refreshing – and not at all heavy or greasy. But what really gets us excited is its therapeutic blend of fruit and plant extracts (including Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamins E and B5), specially engineered to replenish and maintain your skin’s optimal moisture balance. Soothing (it smells fresh and clean) and flattering (just a dab turns dry, chapped skin into velvet). Moisturizing just got a lot more fabulous.

NEW! Limited-edition White Truffle Collection Gift Set

September 25, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

PHILIP B® White Truffle Nourishing & Conditioning Crème is our number-one seller for good reason: An intensive reconditioning crème, it restores lost moisture in the most luxurious way, giving even the most fried strands sumptuous shine, body and bounce. The secret: A nourishing blend of 23.3% pure plant extracts: moisturizing Italian White Truffle Oil, Lavender, Comfrey, Hops and Nettle, along with strengthening amino acids and soothing Vitamin E. The matching White Truffle Ultra-Rich Moisturizing Shampoo, another pure-botanical powerhouse, offers dramatic improvement in texture after just one use. Made with Soy Proteins for added moisture and elasticity; Hops and Nettle to provide body; and nineteen botanical essences (including Extracts of Thyme, Chamomile, Lavender and Comfrey) to leave your hair feeling its silky best and your scalp, clean and fresh. Ideal for all hair types, but especially color-treated or chemically-processed hair that’s dry, porous and ultra-fragile. These are two of our most indulgent treatments — a life-changing experience in a box.

NEW! Maui Wowie Beach Mist

September 24, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

Easy glamour. A few sprays of our Sea Salt mist conjures up instant fullness and an alluringly tousled, piece-y, just-off-the-beach texture. Spiked with Aloe Vera, Algae Extracts and a good-for-you blend of exotic plant oils (pure Orchid, Tahitian Gardenia, Kukui and Coconut), it also nourishes hair, giving it an amazingly healthy, voluptuous feel. Even better, the natural, islandy scent makes life feel like a day at the beach – great for your late-afternoon revival kit.

NEW! Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo

September 23, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

We call this the Fountain of Youth for hair: Our reconstructing shampoo rejuvenates and revitalizes all hair types, giving even chemically-damaged strands a dramatically youthful look, feel and radiance from the first use. The power-packed formula truly heals on all fronts: Eleven life-giving L-Amino acids at active strengths repair hair on a cellular level — quickly restoring its body, bounce and shine. An extraordinarily high dose of Panthenol (Vitamin B5) coupled with a catalyst, Phytantriol, sinks moisture deep into every strand. An artful, Russian-inspired blend of Chamomile, Grape Seed, Rosemary, Nettle, Burdock and Sage infuses hair with emollients for a healthy gleam-from-within. Protective Silk, Wheat and Soy Proteins increase elasticity and tensile strength. And Shea Butter imparts a finishing touch of weightless hydration for beautiful, long-lasting bounce and resilience. Equally decadent: The tantalizing scent of PHILIP B® Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo channels the opulence of the Romanov dynasty, when the healing and calming properties of Amber Oil were treasured by a privileged few. Treat your hair like royalty — the Imperial way!

Katira Hair Masque

September 22, 2008 | See Entire New Product Line

Universal Hair Revitalizer - Instant Manageability & Shine Boost

Product Details:A gentle yet surprisingly versatile rejuvenator for all hair types, our unique, clear-gel formula sinks right in to plump up fine, limp strands or calm and smooth coarse, hard-to-manage hair. Think of it as an amped-up, squeaky-clean version of a deep-conditioning treatment: You get all the vibrant shine and silkiness you could dream of – without a trace of added weight or residue. PHILIP B® Katira Hair Masque will make the most of any hair texture, taking lush, light and manageable to a whole new level.

How it works:

• Pure Katira Extract — the “it” conditioner of the Middle East — fills in weak, damaged spots in the hair cuticle for added smoothness and strength. It also gives your hair a slight electrical charge – you’ll feel it during your blowout – that leaves it fantastically light and bouncy.

• A high-tech L-Amino Acid Complex infuses your hair with a perfect dose of weightless, oil-free moisture and nourishing proteins for enhanced control and elasticity. Just one application will instantly revitalize your hair color, speed up blow-drying time, and lock in shine for a sexy, touchable, red-carpet finish.

6 fl oz/178ml, $40

Paraben-Free Formula

Directions: For best results, coat clean hair (damp or dry) with a generous, thick coating of Katira masque. Comb it through from roots to end to distribute the product evenly, then let the masque sit till it’s dry — or blow-dry to speed the process. From there, just rinse well: Don’t shampoo the product out! Style hair as usual to discover the Katira difference and the magic of Persia!
