L’Oreal Factory

I was told one part there that some of the products in the L’Oreal Elvive brand that you get at the supermarkets are identical to some of the Kerastase ones, lol and look at the price difference. I am not sure which products they are exactly but it doesn’t surprise me same company could easily re-label!!!

Okay so I went looking in the forum and couldn’t find the old thread to post this info about L’oreal and other company owning major brands, so Miss MacLover I hope you don’t mind…

These are some brands owning other brands, Im quite upset by this coz I feel I’ve been ripped off! and I love luxury brands only to find out that it’s owned by companies where I can purchase them in supermarkets-well almost!

Understand how you can feel like you are being jibbed Annyex however don’t be… well too much.
All the products are “owned” by the relevant brand however are still designed, manufactured and marketed by the Sub Company.
Most major companies operate this way…… It doesn’t necessarily (although it can sometimes) mean that you can obtain the same/similar product from a cheaper brand still owned by the company.
Even if you look at a company like Coke-a-cola… They own all the standard coke brands, but then into alcohol like Jim Beam, Peroni, Russian Standrad Vodka, and then things Grinders Coffee, IXL and SPC… however products are still manufactured by the sub brands.
