Has anyone tried Gold Medal's Herbal Tame?? Since I can't seem to find any recent postings about it, I decided to buy some and try it myself. Besides the ONE person who tried it and liked it umpteen years ago, I've come upon nothing. There are some very old YouTube vids out there, check it out if you so please. Here is a list of the ingredients: Water, Daphne Gnidium, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protien, Henna, Aloevera,Sage Extract, Nettle Extract, Rosemary Extract, Capsium Extract, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance.
