At Tabitha JK, we believe modern beauty should be both transformative and transparent. That’s why our collection is certified organic by the Soil Association—and proudly free from phthalates.
If you're curating the finest treatments for your clients, it's crucial to understand what's really inside the products you offer—and why clean, high-performance formulations are the new standard in luxury haircare.
What Are Phthalates—And Why Should Professionals Avoid Them?
Phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates) are a group of synthetic chemicals - specifically a type of plasticizer, used to make plastics soft & flexible and fragrances last longer. They’ve been in commercial use since the 1930s and can be found in everything from plastic shower curtains to cosmetics, air fresheners, and yes—even your shampoo.
In salon-grade products, phthalates are used to:
-
Extend synthetic scent duration
-
Enhance texture and spreadability
-
Help products adhere to the scalp and hair
But here’s the problem: Phthalates are proven endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with hormones—even in small doses. The risks include reproductive and neurological harm, particularly in vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children.
Phthalates are known Hormone Disruptors:
Phthalates can interfere with your hormones—even in tiny amounts. Once absorbed through the scalp or skin, phthalates don’t just wash away; they can enter the bloodstream and act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with the body’s natural hormone systems. Research has shown that even low-level exposure can disrupt estrogen, testosterone, and thyroid hormone activity, affecting everything from mood and metabolism to reproductive health and immune function.
Studies have linked phthalates to reduced fertility, pregnancy complications, developmental issues in children, metabolic disorders, and even increased risks of hormone-sensitive cancers. One 2018 review published in Environmental Research found consistent associations between phthalate exposure and changes in reproductive hormone levels and sperm quality, while another study in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology highlighted links to insulin resistance and obesity. Despite growing awareness, phthalates still hide in many hair products—often under vague labels like “fragrance.” At Tabitha JK, we’ve chosen a different path. We believe in protecting health as fiercely as we protect the planet—by formulating without phthalates, and with full transparency.
How Phthalates Impact Hair and Scalp Health
Phthalates do not nourish or repair hair. In fact, they:
-
Disrupt the scalp’s natural microbiome
-
Strip away essential oils
-
Cause inflammation and sensitivity
-
Lead to dependency on synthetic coatings
What feels like “silky” hair post-treatment is often just a plastic film, not genuine health. Over time, this leads to:
-
Brittle, dull strands
-
Greasy roots
-
Dry, frizzy ends
-
Increased breakage
And in a spa or salon setting, that means diminished client satisfaction and reduced repeat visits.
