keratin contains formaldehyde?

No, it doesn't. But if you have used the straighteners with formaldehyde in the past, you may be disappointed with this one....I didn't find it effective at all, and it damaged my hair.

Yes, it's formaldehyde free. I've been using it for about 5-6 weeks now; my nails are longer, stronger and healthier than they've been in years. I used to use acrylic, then shellac....they are much better now and not dry or peeling at all. This is really good stuff!

I don't know. Sorry! I have blonde highlights in very dark brown hair and it made it difficult to even comb through. I can comb my hair no problem now and it's shinier. But I don't know about keratin at all.

You should be able to get the MSDS from Amazon as they supply the product. If they can not get it to you, try www.quimicaalemana.com. The problem is that it is a Columbian company and they may not have to live up to US standards. The product does have formaldehyde in it but it works beautifully.

I was quite surprised to see this question and was about to answer 'no' but decided to go get the bottle and read the ingredients and sure enough, formaldehyde IS listed as one of the ingredients. I was completely shocked. I have used this product twice and there definitely some powerful fumes that come off your hair when you are using the straightener but it really does make your hair incredibly soft and manageable. I have very curly hair however so it does not completely straighten it but it makes it very easy to straighten and blow dry. I hope my answer helped. Good luck!

Thank you to those who answered. I do not smoke and I followed instructions. I know that formaldehyde can be damaging and I have since noted that OPI does a non-formaldehyde product. My nails are really messed up with the one I used.

I bought the product direct from the suppliers and used it straight away. From comments received, the only possibility could be that the product does not agree with some of the household products I use (which may contain chemicals). Years ago I bought a similar product before going on a cruise thinking that my nails would have a great chance to grow, that product also stripped my nails and I was told that it was formaldehyde that caused this. Thanks again.... my nails have improved recently by protecting them with Gel nails .

It has Biotin, Keratin, Resveratrol, and Quercetin. This is basically a hair, skin, and nail supplement rather than a hair-loss treatment.

It actually does contain formaldehyde but under another name. Check this website for additional info http://www.ewg.org/hair-straighteners/our-report/hair-straighteners-that-hide-formaldehyde/ It's part of the name game that these companies play in order to claim that these straighteners are formaldehyde free. There is no straightener on the market that is completely formaldehyde free. It is the formaldehyde that chemically straightens the hair. Some formulas have more than others and most of them market it under a different chemical name.

Yes, it does. I just received mine and I don't like the fact that they don't mention that in the product description. They also don't say how much formaldahyde their product contains.

No it doesn't contain any of those chemicals. You should be able to mix it in to the conditioner just fine.

I would think so--it contain "keratin" which is found in ALL human hair--no matter what your ethnicity! HTH you in your decision.

There is hydrolyzed wheat protein and silk, towards the bottom of listed ingredients. I'm not a chemist, but maybe the different alcohols, the water, and "puffed up" animal proteins work towards hydrating hair. FYI: use small dime sized amounts before blow drying/ironing, cause it reacts to heat.

I think so. These are Shampoo and Conditioner. Basically, a Formaldehyd in a Keratin Reconstraction.

It does not seem like, but I cannot guarantee you that. I guess it is safe on Keratin treated hair. . . I am sorry I could not help you anymore with my answers.
