Re: Estee Lauder Vérité, etc

[Guest guest]

Actually, the ingredients in terms of botanicals for these products

are not too bad, though why they would put caffeine in a product to

calm your skin is ???? Unless its functioning as some sort of

ingredient accelerant. (Caffeine commonly used by Cosm companies

these days to increase blood circulation to get rid of dark underye

circles). And their Idealist ingredient list is even longer!!!

For the record, Estee Lauder is the holding company for nearly every

major cosmetic company you see in the dept store, known

as " Lauderized " ...Bobbi Brown, Origins, Stila, etc and

several " boutiques " like Aveda... These companies have low advs

budgets and big margins...they give the Lauder the diversity in

reaching a lot of different markets. To the best of my knowledge, I

don' think they have merged with L'oreal -- who is the holding

company for for Lancome and Kiehls', and several of the drugstore

brands.
