Carrageenan: It's In A Sm Product. Is It Harmful?

[YvetteWithJoy]

Hi, all.

I just purchased a product that gets EXCELLENT reviews.

It is SM's Zanzibar line's leave-in.

I just noticed: It contains carrageenan.

Uggh.

What do you think? Safe in hair products? Not safe? Not worth the risk? I have little ones at home and am thinking about returning this product for something else.

It's safe. Irish Moss is one. It's for thickening.

It's an algae. Irish moss, or carregeenen, is used by many raw vegans. When I was in Barbados, it was a popular, natural drink that I found every where I went.

I had been advised to avoid it all costs when I was drinking almond milk. I was SURPRISED to see it in a hair product. There is one researcher who SWEARS it's dangerous, but she seems to be all alone: http://followyourheart.com/is-carrageenan-safe/

I just don't want the headache of concerning myself over it. I'm going to return it and exchange it for the 10-in-1 masque I've been wanting to try.
