GUANIDINE CARBONATE
(ingredients)

Caribbean Natural Products Inc. - It is an alkaline, organic salt used primarily in hair straightening and depilatory systems as a buffer and pH adjuster. It is very effective in (no-lye) hair relaxers in reducing irritation, as it reacts with calcium hydroxide to form a less irritating system.
