For years, professional hair colour has been about balancing beautiful results with hair health and client comfort. Today, Philip Martin’s has redefined what professional colour can be with Marmellatà —an advanced permanent oxidation colour that combines exceptional performance with a luxurious colouring experience. It is also an ammonia-free hair colour, which makes the service more comfortable for clients.
Inspired by innovation and designed for modern salons, MarmellatĂ offers vibrant, long-lasting colour while caring for both the hair and the scalp.
The name Marmellatà comes from its distinctive gelée texture, inspired by the richness and softness of fruit jam. This unique consistency gently wraps around every strand, creating an even, effortless application that transforms a routine colour service into a luxurious beauty ritual.
Unlike traditional colour creams, MarmellatĂ provides superior comfort for both the stylist and the client, making every appointment a relaxing salon experience.
MarmellatĂ has been developed for professionals who want exceptional colour results while respecting the health of the hair.
Its innovative formula is:
Without harsh ammonia fumes or added fragrances, the colouring service becomes significantly more comfortable, particularly for clients with sensitive scalps or those who simply prefer a gentler salon experience.
At the heart of MarmellatĂ is Chroma Cover Plus Technology, an advanced pigment system developed to deliver:
Using ultra-pure pigments free from mineral impurities, every shade develops with remarkable accuracy, depth and luminosity that remains vibrant wash after wash.
One of MarmellatĂ ’s biggest innovations is its exclusive In-GelĂ©e Complex.
This advanced technology combines premium pigments, carefully selected raw ingredients and a revolutionary gelée texture to provide:
The result is flawless, even colour application with beautiful, predictable outcomes every time.
Colour shouldn’t only transform the look of your hair—it should also help protect it.
MarmellatĂ is enriched with plant-based conditioning and antioxidant ingredients that help leave hair:
Its anti-ageing conditioning action makes it particularly suitable for hair that has been stressed by repeated colouring, heat styling, environmental exposure or chemical treatments.
Many clients are looking for hair colour that is kinder to their skin without sacrificing professional results.
MarmellatĂ has been formulated with this in mind. By eliminating ammonia, fragrances, PPD and Resorcinol, it provides a more comfortable colouring experience while helping minimise irritation often associated with traditional permanent colours.
Whether creating natural brunettes, radiant blondes, rich reds or bespoke fashion tones, MarmellatĂ offers a modern palette designed for creative freedom. Browse the MarmellatĂ permanent colour shades, or order the MarmellatĂ colour chart for consultations.

Marmellatà represents a new generation of professional hair colour—where innovation meets comfort, performance and hair wellness.
Whether you’re a salon professional looking to elevate your colour services or searching for a premium colouring experience that prioritises both beauty and hair health, Philip Martin’s MarmellatĂ delivers exceptional results with every application.
