Child Labor Found in Fragrance Supply Chain! + Rare Beauty & Brooke's New Line! | WUIM Top News

What makes it even more disgusting is how expensive perfume is. They’re really just hoarding wealth at the top.

[@aidehns]

Completely agree (as a fragrance lover). I get that a lot of the time the packaging *can* account for a large amount of the price, but why should we be paying $100+ on a full size if the actual product is being sourced in such terrible and cheap ways?

[@ersheri]

ELF beauty is crushing it because they are proving that quality makeup doesn’t have to cost a lot They are the right company in this economy.

[@TiredNSleuthing]

I love them and they are always my go to. I will do my makeup have it last all day and then hate taking it off at night because I love it so much! 😂❤

Now if they'd only make some true Olive complexion products. I love ELF, but their foundations and tints turn Orange on me, and this was me testing/swatching each shade out.

[@nikitorres6852]

Does anyone remember in 2009/2010 when elf was going out of business so they sold all of their products for $1 so then all the young and/or broke girlies tried it and were like “hey this stuff actually gets the job done” and then everyone bought it and now it’s gone BOOM.

They have sunscreen dispensers at every door that leads outside at a psych hospital here. It looks like a hand sanitser but its free sunscreen. If psych patients can be well behaved with the sunscreen, i don't understand why the average american cant behave themselves with suncreen dispensers.

[@FortheLoveofBees]

Just think of many, many Americans as psych patients without the insight to realize they need help. It’s wild over here.

[@TGRAM7]

People in the US can’t even control their kids from destroying Sephora. There’s no way we could enjoy free sunscreen 😂

When i was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 16 years ago we had a program called look good feel good and they would gather products from various make up companies to help people navigate the changes their skin would go through whilst going through chemo and to help them feel good about themselves and feel a bit more in control of that one area. It is a great idea .. love it!!!

[@iljacosper]

I'm from the Netherlands and I've never seen a dispenser, probably just a few in Amsterdam. As a Dutchie, I started using sunscreen every day decades ago but I probably was the odd one out. I think the problem is that the Netherlands doesn't have a lot of sunny days in the year, so when we do, everybody is out and about soaking up the sun and not thinking about it

[@SanneH1989]

Same! Never seen them (maybe once in the Efteling?), but Iḿ from a very small town (guess which one xD). I wish we had more of these dispensers, especially at playgrounds and schools!

[@lorainehayes]

Same as scotland, not many sunny days and when it is out, men have their tops off and go lobster red because they aren't wearing any form of spf

[@AGK1999FE]

I still haven't learned to wear sunscreen. Not used to it in northern Europe

[@manondeboer3708]

I've seen one in Groningen. They do exist! :)

[@dexaria]

I’m from New Zealand and we’ve had sun cream available in schools for decades. In most schools I’ve worked in it’s either compulsory or highly encouraged to wear it every day in summer - kids and adults alike. The southern hemisphere has higher rates of skin cancer than the northern hemisphere because of the hole in the ozone. More UV gets through the atmosphere and in summer you can get a serious burn inside 15 minutes!

[@amandaf5664]

Yes and kids are not allowed outside to play unless they have their sun hat on. Wish we had that here when I was a kid :(.

I have seen a big increase in shorts being pushed by YT and I’m not here for it. I enjoy longer videos. I hardly watch makeup content anymore I feel it’s all just paid product reviews.

[@teri2466]

I think they're making a mistake if they plan to push shorts even more. Shorts are a pain in the neck partly because there's no description for the creator to put needed info. And often, since they're made for another platform, they don't translate well to KZbin.

[@nickimontie]

I rarely watch Shorts. They're disruptive to my regular watch process.

[@laikanbarth]

Ann Reardon did a video on it and said that YT really pushes the shorts and if you watch for just a few seconds it counts as a view. I don’t like shorts. I like my long form videos. Shorts can lower your attention span. Everyone is trying to be like TT.

I’ve been checking out some smaller creators for makeup content recently and enjoying that but also not abandoning my usual ladies. 🩷

[@drchen6424]

You’re so right, we can’t have nice anything here. Free sunscreen would be an amazing opportunity for someone looking for a reason to sue for alleged damages, which would be ironic given sunscreen is meant to reduce damage.

[@montananerd8244]

The fact that a smallish beauty company made the front of TIME speaks to 2 things we should keep in mind: 1) magazines are in trouble AND megaliths like TIME have solid data on what covers sell mags, some of this is purely aesthetics, nostalgia & prettiness; 2) Beauty is a huge category but few people buy new makeup regularly, other than the few things that you have to replace regularly like mascara & concealer. The niche beauty customer & our least wealthy influencers are getting scammmmmmmed by the prices & manipulated by a multi pronged marketing campaign that is full emotional warfare. We are being made fools of, and I love watching beauty content, but I'll tell you, take a break for 2-4 weeks or even just reduce, and lo and behold, your desire to spend will dramatically decrease. We're brainwashing ourselves into a really big financial hole. We're very lucky that there are voices of reason & critique like Jen, but, for very little benefit to ourselves, we're throwing our money at an industry & essentially beggjng them to rip us off. Do we really want this ?

[@mssdrstrange4176]

Preach, sister!!!

[@iimuffinsaur]

this is a very good analysis of it!!

[@TGRAM7]

You’re so right! I stopped watching beauty influencers because the trend started to become nothing but them pushing products just to pad their pockets. I began to notice I was just buying the same things over and over just in different packaging. I have my core face/brow products that work for me and due to previous spending I have eyeshadow palettes that I’ll never run out of. My wallet is happier and I can focus on real life and not the next beauty trend ✌🏾❤️

[@teri2466]

I read this right after hearing Jen's story about Door Dash delivering Ulta 🤦‍♀️

[@akellerhouse83]

Yes! I stopped watching all beauty content except Jen and Teresa is Dead, and I spend WAY less on makeup these days.

[@keawarren]

Hmmm… if L’Oréal has actively been working with a fair labor coalition and the Egyptian government to “address the problem” AND they were in contact with the BBC, so they knew a story was coming, why did it take them five business days to release a corporate response??? I’ve worked for very large organizations and there was always C-level approved PR written and ready to publish immediately any time we knew a critical news piece was going to drop. My initial thought is that the effort to address the problem is basically window dressing with no real action behind it.

[@EVEspinosa79]

Hey Jen! Since I know you like getting into the legal stuff surrounding cosmetics and beauty, I think it would be interesting if you researched about The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCHRA), considering that by July 1st, it reaches its compliance date. For what I understood, this is the FDAs attempt to protect the consumer, by having manufacturers register the sourcing of their ingredients, facilities, and the registration of all their formulas, testing, and what not. This came to my attention on the Beautiful and Bother Podcast where they had Kevin James as a guest, and around minute 33, 34, he talks about how he thinks this will affect good and bad actors.

[@NeoNovastar]

I'm really happy Selena has seen such success in Rare. I remember her getting mocked in the music space a lot this past decade, so I hope she is finding happiness working in makeup and acting.

[@1liberaldem]

I still enjoy both review and tutorial videos. Guess I"m old school! I also like these kind of "in depth" kind of videos. Yours, and say...Kelly Gooch and her deep dive and makeup musings.

[@PinkBowEnthusiast]

Thank you Jen for talking about the child labour issue within fragrance supply chains, hadnt heard about this until watching this video. Nearly cried over the footage you included in this video. That shot of that poor kids feet and the fact that they're paid so little for hours of work is so heartbreaking 😓 cant even afford shoes to work in, not that they should be working at all at that age! Ugh.

Re: child labor: If they don’t find ways to replace that family’s income, the children end up working elsewhere or going hungry. Girls especially are vulnerable in these situations to being sold, early marriage, etc to reduce the financial burden on the family. I’m not for child labor but until the problems that generate a need for child labor are addressed, it won’t stop.

[@amysomething3370]

I am Dutch and personally know 3 people under 30 who have been diagnosed with skin cancer in the last 2 years (I know, anecdotal, but it scares me). I'm all for this initiative, and we love free things here, so that'll help 😂. Idk if this is just my family, but my parents don't use sunscreen. At. All. I'm the only one here that does, and my parents think that 'that first summer burn' helps with a tan, and that I'm silly for not wanting to tan at all🙄. But like you said... I don't want skin cancer

[@unmellowyellow]

Your parents’ logic was very much the thinking in the 70’s and 80’s in terms of the “first” burn being a necessary evil for getting your full tan on (I know, I know, it was a completely different time and absolutely clueless about UVA and UVB rays) 😊 I grew up in the U.S., so it seems like this logic was worldwide 😮

[@ChrystalVanDusseldorp]

My mom said the same thing in the 80's. I didn't wear spf regularly until my 30's, and it usually burned my eyes or made me break out so I just avoided the sun most days. I started using K-beauty spf a couple years ago and it's so good, a complete game changer.

[@raev87]

My mom was a nurse during the 70s-90s and although she tans easily, she was ALWAYS diligent with slathering me in sunscreen. She used to tell me if I wore nothing else, wear sunscreen 😂 Although I’m not always 100% on top of my sunscreen game (mostly the reapplying part if I’m wearing makeup) I do believe I am way more diligent about it than most Americans. I’m 37 and people think I’m in my early 20s. I honestly believe it’s the sunscreen.

[@tamrasmith1744]

Anything to get more people to use sunscreen is great. I hope it works. Everyone in my family is pale, but the kind of pale where they burn then tan. Growing up we spent way too much time in Florida. Then my father moved there in his 50s. He has had melanoma twice now. I feel like I am lucky, because I am paler than everyone else in the family and never tan. At a young age, I started using a lot of sunscreen and just avoiding the sun. It wasn’t about cancer or wrinkles, I just burn really quickly. I hope it will make a difference in my cancer risk. I already see a difference in wrinkles compared to my immediate family.

[@dizzylilthing]

My family is mayonnaise white and I am cumin mayonnaise, When they get sunburns I get a little darker. But that led to them internalizing the need for sunscreen and for me to never even think about it. Even when I was in the Negev desert I was wearing shorts and no shirt and no sunscreen because after a few hours in the sun I actually think I got a little bit of sunburn and it felt kind of cool. now I've got a bunch of new moles and skin discoloration from UV trauma.

I just love seeing your success 😊 ❤ One comment on the future of KZbin beauty - it seems most of my favorite creators are moving away from product reviews and more towards news/opinion pieces. From who im subbed to, I feel like those who've continued reviews are still doing well, and the content oversaturation that was happening is now pretty well balanced between the two types.

I don't know if it's a regular thing, but I've definietely seen sunscreen dispensers at the Minnesota State Fair before!

I'm dutch, and i think its a great initiative but im personally still using my own sunscreen lol, i dont trust people not to do smthng

Elf would make more if there were more counters in the UK. They have taken out the tiny self-serve counter at my local Boots I went into the city near me, there wasn't a single counter!

The Brook Shields’ hair care would have to be pretty special to spend the money on it, there are tons of great drug store options these days. Unless they have something proprietary no thanks. And I’m 47 so love Brook.

[@TGRAM7]

And to top it off she didn’t seem that enthusiastic while reading that prepared speech they gave her. Like you said there are so many great drugstore options and we can even get expensive name brand products at TJ Maxx and Home Goods. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ulta made some problematic decisions. For me, they decided to use really shitty packing/shipping - things arrive broken because they’re poorly packed and so they have a lot of returns. I personally won’t have anything delicate (nail polish, etc) shipped from them, even for free. I’ll just buy direct from company.

[@Jo-razz]

Bingo! That is where their success comes from. I have been complaining that these companies are only worried about the short-term prophet. Not planning out the longevity of the company. Making shortcuts, to achieve their quarterly goal. (I'm just guessing and it's just my opinion) When Jen said they were planning for the longevity of the company. It actually made me feel good. Because it kind of makes me feel my guess is a pretty good guess. 😁

I work in baseball and at some spring training parks in Arizona they have free sunscreen stations! I saw it and thought it was amazing!

[@Labbfreak]

Just saw sunscreen dispensers at our local park today! Curious to hear the segment

[@anapimenta5112]

Came here from the live 😁 happy birthday Jen 😘

[@frumtheground]

Free sunscreen would be great! But we also don't have the same rules, regulations, let alone elegant ingredients we're allowed to use here like they have other places in the world. I really wish we could move forward in using newer UV filters like they use elsewhere. I think that alone would hugely increase the use of sunscreen for the US.

[@ChrystalVanDusseldorp]

I just got some K-beauty spf and it's so good! I have oily skin and got Haruharu Wonder Airyfit cream and AHC stick for reapplication.

[@ivania321]

why is our FDA so slow moving compared to other countries? i think Jen has hit that topic more than once here and I always back her up. I am turning 50 this year and I have been business managing retail cosmetics since I was 18...and I've been hearing about our infamous FDA and its super strict and super outdated policies...how do we get our FDA to roll with the future of beauty and our global peers of beauty lovers and safety first, of course. and thats my vent for today. :) thank you collective brain.

[@frumtheground]

@ivania321 the FDA considers sunscreen a drug rather than a cosmetic product, so they require new UV filters to have very rigorous testing and long-term studies before approval can be considered, but even with all of that somehow they're still unreasonably slow at testing and approval. Other countries have been using them for decades and haven't reported any adverse side effects. It's absurd.

I think, the next stage for the beauty community on YT is "documentaries" and commentary. I want to keep learning about unethical practices, so that we keep pressuring brands to pay their workers decently. That's what I mostly watch these days.

[@jennypettersson]

Thank you for the lovely video that kept me company on a building Ikea furniture day!

[@SimplyyBreon]

My boyfriend and I both watch/listen to KZbin (premium) far more than anything. Our phones, tv, when driving, doing chores, etc. It makes sense because KZbin is more niche than regular tv. I have more channels I watch/listen to on YT than I have tv shows combined.

[@melissacoulter708]

In my home we actually don’t watch actual TV. Both myself and my 17 year old daughter only watch KZbin, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+… etc. I mainly watch KZbin but I don’t just watch beauty/drama videos. I watch a ton of documentaries and Emily Baker for trials.

[@Makeuplovingphotographer]

Our local baseball park has a few free sunscreen stations and it is amazing. I’m not sure how many people use them though

[@laikanbarth]

It’s so sad that big companies still use child labor. They always take advantage of poor people. Those kids should be outside playing and just being kids. You only get one childhood. The children in Africa are also being used as labor in the mines. They do the mining for cobalt to use in batteries for electric cars and phone. Over 25,000 children are working in cobalt mines in the DRC.

[@starlinguk]

It's more complicated than that. They usually don't say "use children, it's cheaper". Instead they pay farmers and producers a tiny amount, which means they can't send their kids to school and the kids end up working for the farm or in production for the family.

[@tamberjune]

I can get naturium & elf at target. Smart buisness. That is a LOT of camo concealer 😂. My cancer center has a Look Good, Feel better class! They give you makeup and teach you how to use it and have fun.

[@cameronastofleth]

The amusement park Holiday World in Indiana offers free sunscreen in its park.

[@Beccalb818]

I don’t even wear makeup but I still watch these every week lol

[@Username0467]

Ive been rebuying the same products for years, and I watch these every week too lol

We have KZbin tv for my husband and I have KZbin premium. I watch both on my phone because I prefer it that way. I have severe vision loss, so just a tiny island of vision and my phone works better for me. And I don’t have to worry about losing the remote.
