In reply to RH. Rosemary isn't an ingredient you need to worry about topically. You are still able to eat it, which is a MUCH bigger exposure than topical. % of an ingredient doesn't matter either. These discussions have more info: But what about this % of an ingredient? ingredients I'm not worried about during pregnancy

In reply to Christine. Hey, thank you for your reply. My question was to ask the reason behind why it would be ok to use the rosemary and mint, shampoo by Mielle. Is the percentage less for Rosemary and is it ok to use the shampoo several times a week?

In reply to RH. I'm not sure I understand your question. There aren't any questionable ingredients in it. You don't need to avoid topical rosemary during pregnancy (you're still allowed to eat it, so topical avoidance makes no sense given the level of exposure).

In reply to Deborah Olugbemi. I don't comment on supplements (at the request of my malpractice provider), please discuss with your physician.

In reply to Yvonne Anetor. If it's not on your bottle then it should be ok I think!

Thank you for responding! The two bottles I have at home do not have this ingredient. I sent an inquiry to the company, and they confirmed that rosemary mint strengthening oil had been reformulated without Retinyl Palmitate. Would it now be safe?

In reply to Christine. Hello! So glad I came across your site as it has been super helpful. I’ve been re-reading the ingredients on my Mielle Rosemary Mint Hair Strengthening Oil and the retinyl palmitate is not listed on the bottle anywhere. I recently purchased it (September 2022). I see their site says that it contains it, but my bottle does not list this ingredient at all. Should I assume that the ingredients listed on the bottle that I have are correct?
