The product's details do not specify the inclusion of harsh chemicals. Check the ingredient list for full information.

Troubleshooting
Curls feel stiff or crunchy.
Use less product. Start with a smaller amount and add more if needed. Ensure the product is distributed evenly.
Hair feels weighed down.
Use less product and ensure hair is not oversaturated. Make sure the gel is applied to wet or damp hair.
Lack of curl definition.
Apply the gel to wet hair and use a styling technique like the "praying hands" method or finger coiling to encourage curl formation.
Frizz remains after application.
Ensure hair is thoroughly wet before application. Consider using a leave-in conditioner before the gel for added moisture and frizz control.
