Strength of Nature - Toxic hair relaxers

The US-based Strength of Nature serves customers worldwide, providing hair care products, including shampoos, conditioners, and chemical hair straightening products.

The company is a leader in the ethnic hair care industry and is a Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. subsidiary. The cosmetics company was acquired by Godrej Consumer Products Limited in 2016. The collaboration between the two companies resulted in the Profectiv MegaGrowth brand that offers a wide array of hair care products.

A National Institutes of Health (NIH) major study showed a clear association between frequent use of chemical hair relaxers and higher hormone-sensitive cancer rates. Regular exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemicals in hair relaxers has been linked to increased uterine and ovarian cancer risks.

Endocrine-disruptive chemicals in Strength of Nature chemical hair relaxers

Recent lawsuits against the hair care industry's leaders, including Strength of Nature, cite evidence of increased uterine cancer rates among women who use chemical hair relaxers. The Sister Study, conducted by The National Institutes of Health, found evidence that the endocrine-disrupting chemical compounds in hair straighteners could cause hormone-sensitive diseases such as:

• uterine cancer (endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma)
• ovarian cancer (non-serous and serous tumors)

Strength of Nature marketed its products as no-lye, safe hair relaxers. However, the products still contain a mix of chemicals that are known to interfere with the functioning of the endocrine system. Plaintiffs claim that the endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in hair relaxers caused their illness. The most popular Strength of Nature hair relaxer products:

• Motions
• Just for Me
• Soft and Beautiful
• African Pride
