Formaldehyde in Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Body Moisturizer Complaint

June 10, 2021

John Paul Mitchell Systems makes a Tea Tree Hair and Body Moisturizer under the Paul Mitchell brand. The complaint for this class action quotes the company’s website as saying that it uses “the highest-quality ingredients and the latest technologies.” But the complaint alleges that the Tea Tree product at issue contains a chemical called DMDM hydantoin, which it calls “an ingredient known to cause significant hair loss and scalp irritation.”
