On 12/5/15 Finally Hair published these ingredients on it’s website:

Colors vary for best results. May contain Keratin, Gossyplum Herbaceum, Polymer, FD&C Yellow No. 5 (CL 19140), FD&C Red #40 (Cl 16035), Black 1 (CL 28440) FD&C Blue No. 1 (CL42090), D&C Orange No. 4 (CL 15510), D&C Black No. 2 and other similar dyes.

Finally Hair does not use silica or hydantoin in any of its hair fibers.  The fibers are mostly comprised of Gossyplum Herbaceum which are died to match hair colors.  Gossypium herbaceum, commonly known as Levant cotton, is a species of cotton native to the semi-arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa and Arabia where it still grows in the wild as a perennial shrub. It is a sister-species of Gossypium arboreum.  Here is an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossypium_herbaceum
