Chemicals/All natural or not

Question
I was told that there was an all natural relaxer called Phytorelaxer. The ingredients listed on the website appeared to be all natural. Can a product that promises to straighten the hair really be all natural?
Yes, it is possible. The term "all natural" usually has no meaning, but in this case they just mean derived from plants and animals. Whether it "straightens" the hair, you will have to test. If it works 90% as good as the normal formulations, is that a success or failure? I also see there are many warning that come along with the product of their website.

Also note that "natural" does not always mean safer. There are nasty chemicals in nature that can be mre harmful than the synthetically derived chemicals.
