Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Sunny, As I just wrote to Jo Ann, this is a dead topic. It is resolved and doesn't need to be rehashed. Those on this list are here to learn how to better manufacture their products. If some one wants to add additional ingredients to a product that they purchase elsewhere then that is fine too. They still have to label the product as if they are the only manufacturer because they have assumed liability for the product with their modifications. If you get right down to it ethics is not my expertise nor is it the expertise of most members of this list and is definitely outside of the scope of our discussions. Regards, Young KY Labs Innovators of Fine Personal Care Products www.kylabs.com Re: ethics? I agree with pat. i think it is frustrating for those of us who produce our body care from scratch to be competing with people that call thier products all natural and handcrafted but use bulk lotion base and m & p soap. also they seem to be able to put cheaper prices on thier soap at least. they call it all natural glycerine soap which is a straight up lie. but is hard to explain to the average consumer sunny In Cosmeticinfoegroups, achil@m... wrote: > > > A question of ethics, ??

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Good Morning, Oh my comment came up again. Yup, it is a question of ethics and too many out there are passing their products off as handmade when they buy a base for $5. or something, handmade is a little more expensive since we do not always deal with one supplier, delivery costs and our mental and physical labour costs in developing and formulation, ahh, but the beautiful wholesome results:) On Tue, 16 Jan 2001 03:03:37 -0000 Sunny / Lizard Head Natural Products wrote: >I agree with pat. i think it is frustrating for those of us who >produce our body care from scratch to be competing with people that >call thier products all natural and handcrafted but use bulk lotion >base and m & p soap. also they seem to be able to put cheaper prices >on thier soap at least. they call it all natural glycerine soap >which is a straight up lie. but is hard to explain to the average >consumer >sunny > >In Cosmeticinfoegroups, achil@m... wrote: >> >> > A question of ethics, ??
