So clever

I have just discovered that the moisturiser I have been using to avoid dimethicone actually contains dimethicone. In my defence, the tube doesn’t list the ingredients. Wish that was compulsory, to protect the faces of poor little idiots like myself.

    I like to be able to go on to a website and see all the ingredients listed before deciding whether or not I want to buy that particular product. If the products were from the EU the should be listed on the packaging itself, not on a separate piece of paper slipped into the packaging.

    Normally I do but to be honest, I just assumed because it is marketed as a natural brand that it would be silicone free. Totally my own mistake.

    Emma might be worth trying to find ingredients online before buying products if your skin isn’t tolerating silicone?

    With your face masks if you haven’t open them yet i would take them back for refund or store credit 🙂

    Gross! I actually don’t rate that blue bottle, so that’s interesting that you like it. Not sure what I’ll do with it, either use it on my neck as it has SPF, or give it to my husband, like all my other purchase fails, but it’s the sanctuary spa illuminating moisturiser so I don’t think he’ll be a fan. I really need to figure out if I can actually use dimethicone or not, because every bloody item has it, even my new face masks (I didn’t have time to check ingredients in that store as I had my toddler with me). I’m happy to not buy it anymore, but would like to use up what I have if I can. Need to do a proper test.

    As consumers, the burden is on us to figure out exactly what we’re buying.

    I started using RHO for the first time this year and just got sent a sample of Kosmea RHO from BH in June. I was baffled at the difference in colour, scent and the results from both the older bottle (it was a bday gift and come in a pack) and the Kosmea sample.

    One would expect a bottle of RHO to be…..RHO. But when I looked up the ingredients on Priceline, I found out that the bottle that was gifted to me had like 20 other oils mixed in with RHO. It’s like then why mislead consumers into thinking this is RHO.

    I’m switching to Kosmea now as soon as I finish my other RHO.

    Oh no! It seriously was just my stupid fault, there were ingredients on the box, but I threw the box out as soon as I bought it, before I even knew I needed a dimethicone free product. It’s a “natural” one so I just assumed it would be silicone free. Never assume!

    Did you buy it from overseas?

    That’s really annoying EmmaApple.
    I’m sure there are loopholes for companies to get away with this sort of deception.

    It might be a case for the consumer watchdog, EmmaA. Do you still have the box?

    I believe it is compulsory for all cosmetics/beauty products to list ALL ingredients not key ones?!

    I can’t find my email now, however I got an email from Marie Claire The Parcel subscription box the other day stating something along the lines of: as it is mandatory for all beauty products to contain the ingredients list here are the ingredients to product a and product b incase you missed it on the card inside the box?
