The Ugly Side of Beauty: Why Quality Ingredients Matter for Personal Care
Do you know what the promos you sell are made of?
You may not like what you find. If you're not properly vetting where your promos come from, you could be selling goods made with unsavory ingredients, posing health risks (or worse) for your customers. Learn from one supplier how to ensure all the products you sell are up to par down to the last ingredient.
The Ugly Side of Lip Balm
Lip balm is packed with benefits like moisturization and sun protection, but benefits aren't all you'll find if you buy from untrustworthy businesses. In fact, the U.S. PIRG Education Fund recently released a consumer guide warning lip balm and lipstick users about dangerous ingredients found in low-quality products linked to cancer, hormone disruption and even reproductive problems. These risky additives include chemical sunscreens, parabens and vaguely labeled fragrances, as the FPLA (Fair Packaging and Label Act) does not require all cosmetic ingredients to be disclosed.
But don't worry: It's not all bad news. While the beauty industry is still lagging in updating all its sourcing practices, there's been a rise in natural and toxin-free brands, and consumers are taking notice. In fact, more and more consumers demand safe and sustainably sourced products, and the promo industry is no exception. Make sure the next lip balm product you pitch has only non-toxic and healthy ingredients, or you could lose a sale because of it.
Raining Rose Makes It Right
Raining Rose cares about your clients and their customers, which is why they use only safe and properly sourced ingredients in their lip balms. They work directly with beekeepers and their families to source the purest beeswax possible, and provide a steady, stable and ethical income for beekeepers all over the world. Even better, Raining Rose chooses to use only beeswax in the majority of their lip balm formulas and leave out pointless (and sometimes dangerous) wax fillers. Instead of risky ingredients, you’ll get only moisturizing and conditioning beeswax when you order from Raining Rose, giving you and your clients peace of mind.
