Mielle Organics CEO Monique Rodriguez has addressed claims that her brand’s Rosemary & Mint line causes hair loss after several rumors about it surfaced on TikTok. Not only that, but Mielle Organics released an official statement denying being involved in active litigation regarding product safety and potentially cancer-causing ingredients.
