Mielle Organics class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Sharon Allen filed a class action lawsuit against Mielle Organics LLC.
- Why: Allen claims Mielle Organics falsely advertises its hair care products as being made in the United States with natural ingredients.
- Where: The Mielle Organics class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
A new class action lawsuit accuses Mielle Organics LLC of falsely advertising its hair care products as being made in the United States with natural ingredients.
Plaintiff Sharon Allen filed the class action complaint against Mielle Organics on Feb. 21 in California federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
Allen claims Mielle Organics falsely markets its hair care products as natural and made in the United States despite containing synthetic ingredients and foreign-sourced components like tea tree oil and coconut oil.
The class action also alleges that Mielle Organics’ products, including its popular Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil, promise benefits like dandruff relief and hair growth but do not deliver.
Lawsuit: Mielle Organics hair care products contain synthetic ingredients
Allen claims Mielle Organics’ marketing misleads consumers into believing they are purchasing superior goods while supporting American companies and jobs.
The plaintiff says consumers are willing to pay a premium for products that are made in the U.S. and contain natural ingredients, believing them to be of higher quality and supporting domestic jobs.
The lawsuit alleges that Mielle Organics’ misleading claims have led consumers to overpay for products that do not meet the expectations.
In addition, the lawsuit states that Mielle Organics’ claims about the hair and scalp benefits of its products are not scientifically substantiated.
Allen claims that despite advertising the products for hair growth and dandruff relief, Mielle Organics has not provided scientific evidence to support these claims.
The lawsuit argues that Mielle Organics’ products are essentially unapproved new drugs under federal law because they are marketed for treating or preventing disease without approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
Allen wants to represent a California class of consumers who purchased Mielle Organics’ products labeled as “Made in the USA” or “natural” within the past four years.
The plaintiff seeks damages, restitution and an injunction to prevent the company from continuing its allegedly deceptive marketing practices.
Last year, Mielle Organics faced other class action lawsuits alleging its rosemary mint hair care products contain ingredients that cause hair loss and other injuries. One of the lawsuits argued that Mielle Organics and its parent company, The Procter & Gamble Co., neglected their duty to test its Rosemary Mint Scalp & Strengthening Hair Oil adequately to ensure it was free of harmful ingredients.

I used Mielle products over the past few years and noticed substantial breakage and shedding of my hair. It is disheartening to see and I am depressed and upset about the current state of my hair. I want to be added to the lawsuit.
I put hed this oil and used as directed on the bottle, a year later i have multiple bald patches because the oil should 1) be used with a carrier oil (not listed) and 2) i have layers of buildup as my pores/follicles became severely clogged, folliculitis, causing my hair to not shed or become oily. I now have to deal with new bumps and and sore spots as my scalp regulates and old oil surfaces and more and more hair old, dead hair coming out.
