Thymuskin Ingredient listing

[Guest guest]

I wrote the Thymuskin company to ask them what was in their product in case I had any objections to anything in it, and here is what they wrote back. I am really kinda shocked at this list of ingredients, especially the 4th one on the shampoo (all the while realizing these are listed in order of descending quantity in the product). It is common table salt! You know why it is in there? When combined with Sodium Laureth Sulfate, it causes the product to thicken.

Actually, the inclusion of this SLS in the ingredient list is the reason I wouldn't buy it myself. See this website: http://www.healthy-communications.com/slsmostdangerousirritant.html I stopped buying shampoos with SLS products in them a long time ago.

The treatment lotion has quite an interesting list for something that reputedly works to make the hair grow back...lots of herbs. I wonder if you could make your own without all the bad stuff and still have it work as good?
