Are you being ripped off?
Product ‘dusting’ is a deceiving practice used by some product manufacturers to convince the consumer that a sizable amount of an ingredient is in their product, when in reality only a negligable amount is added.
Usually dusted ingredients are either expensive, rare, or considered ‘active’ or special. In reality the amount of the dusted ingredient that is in the product is so minimal that it will not make a difference on the skin. The end result is a product that won’t deliver as promised, money down the drain, and disappointment.
So, how do you check to see if your being ripped off? Well, it’s quite simple really. All you have to do is take a look at the back of your containers. In print that reads like a service agreement is the list of ingredients. They are almost always listed in quantities from largest to smallest. Water or Aqua as it is usually listed is as the first ingredient, followed by a whole host of ingredients. What you need to look for is the ingredient being touted as the miracle component. If it’s found towards the end of the list, you can bet that its the small component of the product.
There are caveats here that you need to consider. One of them is the fact that many products will work, even with their ‘miracle’ components at the end of the list. The second is that some components are too strong to be put into a product in great concentration. For example, if you have a glycolic acid wash, don’t expect to see glycolic acid as the first ingredient on the list.
Ultimately it is up to you, the consumer, to take a glance when comparing products and see just how the ingredient lists stack up against each other.
