I've seen a couple in general change their formulas when they actually made the products themselves. Mostly because those raw material's prices went up, thus forcing them to either substitute ingredients or increase the price.<br /><br />Either scenario can suck. lol<br /><br />I think it has a lot to do with picking ingredients that are in abundance. I think with most [major]commercial products, they change it because they can. Most consumers aren't label readers, they're brand loyalists. Some could care less if a product changed its ingredients because thought isn't put into it. The same applies to clothing and accessories. Some folks will cling to a "label" even if the quality is mediocre(or average) at best, but just for that sake of saying they HAVE or WEAR it. ;)<br /><br />On the other hand, many naturals are VERY cognizant of the benefits of ingredients, natural and otherwise, thus we're a bit more discriminatory. That's a good thing because like you said, it allows us to be more active in making products that specifically work for us. :)<br /><br />Thanks for you comment!KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663912567517357721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152433624221846830.post-85531151672875820872010-05-28T21:52:22.003-04:002010-05-28T21:52:22.003-04:00This is why I focus on making my own products (wit...This is why I focus on making my own products (with natural ingredients). With using commercial products, the formulas and availability are in the hands of someone else, and you're usually stuck just hoping nothing changes. You just don't have that worry if you make your own products.SummerRubynoreply@blogger.com
