disappointed by pine shale ingredient [SEP] i visited ewgorg ewgs skin deep database to view the health of the products ingredients all ingredients were great except the pine shale which is said to have possible human carcinogenic properties i will try another mm shampoo product showing as free of harmful ingredients my hair is thick and short and i had to use an unusually large amount to wash my hair which is cost prohibitive for me i will be able to get to washes from one bottle the pros my scalp feels better cleaner and breathes better my scalp tends to stay cooler and does not get irritated during hot summer days my hair looks a bit more bouncy but i am not sure how well the product is hydrating my hair i have not used the product long enough to determine if it is making it softer and more pliable overall i do like the productthe product itself is a strange mixture an almost mud like consistency it has a flat type lather no big bubbles and does not smell the best the smell does not dissipate from the hair after shampooed hair has dried but hey if this can help restore my overall health help rebalance my hormones then that is a plus
