Creme of Nature Hair Relaxer Information
Creme of Nature with Argan Oil is a straightening no-lye relaxer that is infused with Certified Organic Argan Oil from Morocco. The product is intended to be used on relaxed hair to achieve styles such as two-strand twists.
While the FDA requires hair relaxer manufacturers to list the active ingredient on the label, the agency does not require companies to disclose all ingredients in the product. Manufacturers often include preservatives that may increase the risk of breast and uterine cancer.
Many hair relaxer and hair straightener products contain EDCs (endocrine-disrupting chemicals) and phthalates, which are chemicals known to damage DNA and increase the risk of various cancers, including:
- breast
- prostate
- testicular
- endometrial
- uterine cancer
They also interfere with hormone function, potentially causing early puberty and infertility.
Statute of Limitations for Creme of Nature Hair Relaxer Lawsuits
The time to file a Creme of Nature Hair Relaxer lawsuit varies by state but typically ranges from 1-6 years from the date of diagnosis or discovery that your condition may be linked to hair relaxer use.
It’s crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the applicable deadline in your state.

However, these figures are only estimates, and actual compensation depends on individual case specifics.
5. What chemicals in hair relaxers are linked to cancer?
Many hair relaxer products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and phthalates, which can damage DNA and increase cancer risk.

The NIH study identified “hazardous chemicals” that are endocrine-interrupting and/or carcinogenic.
6. How do I prove my cancer was caused by hair relaxer use?
Proving that your cancer was caused by hair relaxer use typically requires medical evidence, expert testimony, evidence of product use over time, and scientific literature establishing a link between the chemicals in the product and your specific condition. An experienced attorney can help gather and present this evidence effectively.
