Background on the Controversy
The product that came under question was their Mielle’s Rosemary Mint Oil. Before the online defamation thing, the oil was greatly praised by people because of its amazing and considerable results. However, as the brand claim mainstream fame, particularly after being acquired by Procter & Gamble in early 2023, a number of long-time users began reporting adverse effects. These reports prompted consumers to ask: Does Mielle hair oil cause hair loss?
According to research done by Allure, the issue became more heated when the consumers started discussing it on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. They shared their after and before results of using the hair oil allure. The people who have been using the oil for many years asked the company that whether the company has changed the chemical composition of oil which is one the facts which the company has consistently denied.
