Risk of cancer for women who use Creme of Nature
According to a decade-long study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, the endocrine-disrupting chemicals from hair relaxers could increase the risk of uterine or ovarian cancer. Creme of Nature no-lye hair relaxer products are created to flatten coily and curly hair. The products contain emollients to create a layer of protection during the relaxing process. They also contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates and parabens to dismantle the hair's protein structure and change its natural texture. Some of the hair relaxer compounds have endocrine-disrupting effects disturbing the functioning of the endocrine system, leading to health conditions in women. The Sister Study's results mainly concern ethnic women who regularly use hair relaxers.
Creme of Nature hair relaxer lawsuits
After the National Institutes of Health study was published in 2022 October, women who used Creme of Nature hair relaxers started to file toxic hair relaxer lawsuits against Revlon, one of the leading companies in the cosmetics industry. Plaintiffs in toxic hair relaxer lawsuits claim that the cosmetics company promotes the Creme of Nature hair straightening products toward ethnic women while failing to warn about the dangers of the endocrine-disrupting chemicals in the products.
