[@kvarner6886]

My first thought about the blush is that it may be one of those annoying peel-off labels on the bottom that has multiple layers, with the ingredients on the bottom layers. I've had drugstore products before that did this that annoyed the shit out of me, because once you peel them they just hang there and can't be flattened and re-stuck again. They then can't be set on their base without falling over, which is GREAT. So you end up pulling the whole label off, which gets rid of all of the info anyway, including things like the shade. God forbid you'd want to like, repurchase the same shade.

i dont get the Rhode thing. Ive never seen a lipstick or similar sized blush stick that has had all of that info on the container itself. Its always just on the box or an extra paper label thats taped to the tube which you remove. Infact, having the full ingredients list etc on only the box and not on the bottle itself, is normal for cosmetics. I'm sat here looking at my current skincare and makeup, and the only ones that do have it on the bottle themselves are ones that didn't come in boxes.

i hate jake paul, but the product itself, its pretty brilliant. Its marketed towards the kidos and weirdoes that follow his stuff, its branding has this idea of "cool", "unique" and "successful". The people he appeals to are people who dont really care if they smell, who don't really buy their hygiene products themselves and i'll be honest, people who don't wash their ass. This group only cares about branding and branding is what they are being sold. I can easily imagine kids asking their moms and dads for this overpriced deodorant, and the parents just being happy to get something relatively useful. Is an untapped market ready to be milked.

I think Youthforia should just give up. I for one have no place for them in my life or at my makeup table. Regarding the Sephora ad, although it may have been entirely innocent in its intention, as an ally it hurts my heart when I think about what the queer community faces on a daily basis, and at least here in the US especially what they are facing now in the current times. During Pride month to suggest that no thoughts just vibes and makeup products occupy everyone's brains just seems grossly insensitive. I already do not shop at Sephora but I am glad Sephora pulled it quickly.

[@mariemeeus6525]

7:25 the wording is super smart. In deodorant you NEED the aluminium. So they mention the desire for having it in their products. But you don’t need the other stuff, so they mark it as unnecessary, weird stuff. Weird stuff doesn’t say that is dangerous, yet implies that it’s not good if it’s in your product. So they don’t tick off people who want that feeling of non toxic products, and at the same time their product will work if you just want a good working deodorant.

[@kookootrix1978]

Antiperspirant not deodorant

[@princessofjedi]

Wrong. In ANTIPERSPIRANT you need aluminum. Deodorant does NOT need aluminum which is why all the natural deodorants don’t claim to block sweating. I have to which because the aluminum keeps blocking my sweat glands and I think the urgent care is gonna ban me if I show up with another blocked gland crying about finding a lump lmao.

[@elisakeller8912]

In my opinion as someone who has to read lables because of allergies, as long as the expiration date/color/product name is visible on the product, the rest of the information can be on the cardboard box or accessible via a qr code. Love your videos.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

I’ll admit, I hate having to go online just to check an ingredient. It seems ridiculous & I don’t understand why ingredient info is not on the bottle, other than cosmetics companies want fat profits & refuse to help confront pseudoscience. I’m not ok with me doing their work, not at these prices. Also why do consumers now want the brand to have an easier time than the consumers themselves? Why wouldn’t we want necessary info easily accessible? I am really not trying to be a dick, but this just seems like stupidity on the behalf of consumers. It’s like we only care if people we like get rich, and we’ll do extra work & get less quality so they have more money to pay advertisers. I love James but I don’t want to just give him my money, and that’s honestly how the economic cycle works. We know beauty profit margins are insane, why are we so nice to brands and their reps?

​@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory of course it needs to be easily accessible but if it's something that is small and is within the regulations of something that doesn't have to have the info... it's fine.

Yes it should be labeled correctly but consumer is responsible for looking up ingredients that they are allergic to.

[@jessaarons7282]

For the sephora post, there is a popular meme trend going around Instagram where there is a pink head with a bow and in the brain there is something silly.

[@cassandra2445]

My first thoughts exactly

[@off.arretezvousx]

This concept is nothing new. I’m also a chemist and the ingredients list could literally be anywhere. It could be on the box it comes in, on a piece of paper in a the product’s user manual, on the bottle itself, on a sticker, etc; I don’t care. It just needs to be listed or else it’s illegal. The chemist in the video is definitely reaching and wants clout.

[@dylpickled]

Sephora had a series where they would teach certain groups of ppl how to do make up, it was supposed to serve people who might not have access or experience with makeup and who were in need of empowerment. I was part of their trans series and used as an example during their demos. The person doing my makeup publicly misgendered me the entire time, and never corrected it every time my peers or boss would intervene (our group was visiting from an LGBTQ center that I worked at). Apparently they had training beforehand but clearly it wasn’t working, I don’t even remember getting an apology besides from my boss (I could be mistaken though it was a while ago). It so humiliating for me, I just sat there and took it when this was supposed to be an empowering moment :( this was 2018 ish so idk what’s up with Sephora since, just figured I’d mention since it’s on topic.

Apparently a few months ago when they released the lip things it didnt disclose that the formula contained tree nuts and someone with an allergy used it and had to go to the hospital. Warnings are VERY important

[@momo_1209]

Me too. I actually had to check all my makeup and skin care items, and most of them don't have a lot of info on them. The box that it comes in already has it. If you're allergic to something, you check before you buy, just like when you order food.

Something about an almost obnoxiously large cream product stick being marketed as a 'pocket blush' seem off to me. I can literally take a lipstick or cream in a tin or hinged compact and it will likely fit in my pocket better. 😂

They could have made the blush the size of a lipstick. It’s not like you use up blush quickly. And the product inside is probably less than what is inside a typical lipstick bullet. The whole idea is weird. Why do I even need a pocket blush? And since when do I have pockets that big?

Sure but not all the colours.. they could have AT LEAST added a bright green to pep things up and round it out more. Instead of ROYGBIV we got ROBIV (i can't really remember what indigo is but i think it's a shade of blue, so really it's actually just either ROBV or ROIV) and anyway those colours just look like pretty standard natural/typical plain Jane makeup to me, tho i am a bright bold and colourful makeup girlie from way back, so i may just not be in touch with what regular folks consider bright bold and colourful 🤷‍♀️ Plus the purple thing doesn't even look like the actual product is purple, unless it's one of those makeup products with the spherical sponge at the top (meaning the colour inside may well be purple)

[@irrelevancyiskey9992]

⁠​⁠@@rachymarieI’m trying my best to understand your comment, but it doesn’t exactly make sense to me, there is a green product, it’s not a deep green that could be mistaken for black, but more so a sap green. Also, is the cap to the rare beauty product (the purple one) throwing you off? I believe there should have a doe foot applicator inside of that product, the actual product colour would be the purple colour you see (a nice warm toned purple) since it comes in a clear tube, and the off white part is just the cap. So colour wise, there’s red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Indigo isn’t always included in rainbows either (according to some sources, indigo was added by Issac Newton, and his reasoning to adding a 7th colour to the rainbow was to appease his religious beliefs since 7 is a holy number and 6 is the devils number - but I don’t know the validity of that claim.)

As some who has allergies, skin sensitivities, and other conditions product information needs to be on the actual product itself and not just the box it comes in. Having information on a website great, but not enough. I do not want to see QR codes on or any similar things on products. I want my products to have information displayed clearly on them. I need this information so that when shopping I can figure out what will work for me and because there have been on more then one occasion where a product I have no problem with and used for a long time will suddenly cause an allergic reaction and I will need to figure out what exactly caused the reaction and why so I can avoid the allergen in the future.

2:24 can they not just do those double stickers? Like have the plain sticker on the back that matches the colour of the bottle but when u peel it back it has the full description kinda like face wash usually has

[@GONEmypurpleflapjack]

a lot of little stickers like that peel up so the ingredients are on another "page" of the sticker

Honestly, most of my skincare doesn't list ingredients on the actual product, only the cardboard packaging, and it bugs me that I recycle ♻️ the packaging, and have to Google the ingredients later. So, though it's not out of the ordinary to do what Chode did, I don't like it much. But I'll likely never use it tho, tbh.

Interesting how these influences choose which products to sell, Deodorant is NOT regulated by the FDA. Vitamins and supplements are either, you can launch them today yourself. Some other examples are skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, makeup, shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, toothpastes, AND of course deodorants. These products and their ingredients are not subject to FDA premarket approval, except color additives (other than coal tar hair dyes). Easy fast cash

[@jessislistless]

Deodorant is super expensive in the US. I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago and in Aldi, walgreens, CVS, publix, even Walmart, all of major European brands like dove and sure were a minimum of like 10$ before tax. It might be a regional thing but that’s what I experienced. Native was around 16$. So, I can imagine that there are deodorants other than wild that are 20$ or more. In Germany, we have generic deodorants for less than 1€, so I was incredibly surprised.

[@laylapearson]

Regarding information on product packaging: a lot of people are saying they don’t need the ingredients listed or the other info, and you don’t need it in your day-to-day. It’s there for _just in case._ Most people won’t ever need the ingredients list but it should be there for those emergency situations. Don’t play with people’s wellbeing, better safe than sorry. There’s also the fact that having the ingredients list on the product itself puts more legal responsibility onto the company. There’s room for the website to be off slightly-I believe it has to be accurate for the majority of the product selling, which means if it’s reformulated and you buy an older product, the website won’t be correct for what you have. And systems for checking batch production dates are inconsistent across the globe and can be hard to navigate. But if it’s mandatory for it to be on the product packaging, then that means it has to be right for that specific product. Otherwise it’s this massive legal grey area which basically guarantees the consumer being fucked over if the company decides to be shady. Following that, leaving info off in order to make the product look good is horrible. As a society, we are constantly jeopardising our health for the sake of appearances (not wearing helmets on bikes/skateboards, high heels, not wearing respiratory masks/fumigating when using certain chemicals, etc) because we prioritise beauty over health and safety. I’m in the graphic/packaging design industry, and being able to design gorgeous things *within* certain requirements is the mark of a good designer. It takes more creativity to be inventive while following regulations than it does when you have complete freedom. Also, the Rhode blush packaging is fucking ugly lmao. And wasteful.

I know for one thing when it comes to native, you could get a stick of that from $10-$13 depending on where you go. I know for one thing they do have a bundle that you get around $20 plus which is not too bad and you do, the pricing of the sticks. Also goes the same way with the body washes, you can also save money on the bundle as well by having three of each.

[@alicegaiba]

Parabens are some of the best and safest preservatives that can be found in cosmetics and most of the time, in parabens free products, they get substituted with other preservatives that are less effective and less safe. We need preservatives in our products and there's nothing wrong with parabens. I personally stay away from paraben free products because I don't trust the substitutes

[@digvijayrana2716]

If you wanna recommend a perfect sunscreen for oily skin then what would it be , must be light weight because for oily skin people it's difficult to sunscreen which free these harsh chemicals like oxybenzone omc , octocrylene..etc please reply?

[@sandy_carpetsthesecond5013]

Why can't they put the information inside the packaging, like on the inside of the lid. I see that a lot with boxes, where they place the vital information and instructions (such as hair dye boxes) *inside* the box, and not on the outside.

[@blackliquoricebb]

i don't really care about the label stuff but what bothers me about the rhodes blush is how tiny the actual blush looks compared to the packaging. I have way smaller blush sticks (like the milk and fenty ones) that look like they contain at least double the product. If they wanted to go for something minimalistic with that amount of product why didn't they create something sleek that can actually fit in most people's pockets. It just seems totally thoughtless to the makeup buyer and user. Maybe they didn't put a weight label on the packaging because it would put people off buying what looks to be a tiny amount of blush in clunky packaging.

[@Ms_Ink]

I’m all for giving Sephora a pass on this one. Two of my son’s best friends are currently transitioning and are beginning to be interested in makeup but have no experience and lack confidence. I have given them some names of trans and other queer MUAs on YT to watch; but, as for buying makeup that is right for them, I wasn’t sure where to send them. I happened to be in the Sephora in Rundle Mall in Adelaide and I ended up speaking to one of their MUAs (a gorgeous, friendly, very knowledgeable transgender woman) and she was amazing. I told them about my son’s two friends and she encouraged me to get them to come in and she’d be happy to help them out. They are both very shy and I am sure she’d make them feel very comfortable and confident. So, kudos Sephora! Everyone should be represented in makeup.

[@Akira_of_the_Fae]

I mean... if by 'gone well' you mean Rhode almost killed someone because they didnt disclose the fact that it contained nuts and someone with an allergy used it, then yes its going well

[@freyjaslefttoe9308]

Was there a lawsuit? I’d like to read about it if so

[@Akira_of_the_Fae]

@freyjaslefttoe9308 pretty sure, i watched a video about it here on youtube but i cant remember what channel. Unfortunately because its owned by a celebrity i doubt it went anywhere

Adding insult to injury: that Youthforia foundation is $48! Get the f*** outta town.

[@zona872]

pretty sure rhode arent alone in the ingredients/warnings thing, that packaging is just horrifically ugly. its giving pigs in a blanket

[@stellarae8257]

i think the point of the sephora post is that all of the products in the brain actually make a rainbow (blue powder, red blush etc.). still just not the best idea though

[@clairekookoo]

I would say its more common than you think for makeup products to not be labeled. A lot of products dont display on the actual product and only on the unicarton that theyre sold in. The best way to work around this is to keep an excel spreadsheet with any info you want to keep and mark date of opening and its expiry. I do this with all my makeup and skincare products so there is no secind guessing of when i purchased/opened a product & its 3/6/12/24/36 month expiry

[@pop-punkreptile5827]

I love learning abt this stuff so I can pretend to be knowledgeable when I go to ulta

[@EmpressCosplay]

The only people who had use for the Youthforia foundation were ballerinas who had to dye their pointe shoes actually black to match the costumes.

[@froggirl96]

the youthforia bit reminds me of an ad i saw on insta the other day for an "inclusive" clothing brand....that has no options for trans women and doesn't go past a size 3x (that's not even in all their clothes!!) it's really annoying and frustrating how many brands/companies love to throw around the word "inclusive" when it literally means nothing to them. and they think they're doing something revolutionary when other brands have been doing it for real for years. 🙄

For the Rhodes blush -- do we know if that tiny bottom sticker is one of those accordion style fold out sticker/mini pamphlet things that could contain all that info?

[@nicodranasien]

Honestly the packaging is not my favorite though i didnt really think it looked dickish? Lol until now… i will say i find it odd they didnt do their classic dove gray and white colored packaging. Just a personal tiny pet peeve, i prefer the packaging of my products to look aesthetically similar in color or at least in the same realm of color story? (Glow recipe is the only exception because they have a very similar colored glass semi transparent bottles in complimentary sorbet colors with the same white rectangular label on all their products. )

[@JamesWelsh]

As someone who is all about packaging…I completely agree!

[@ifeesam]

Re: Rhode it has to be on the box not on the actual component. Plenty of my makeup products don’t have that info. Seems like an annoying reach.

I do have to say that my daughter has a reaction to sulfates in hair care so I do have to say it’s nice to have that alternative or she would be walking around with a nasty, itchy rash on her head, neck and back. Options are good.

[@teri2466]

I see a lot of products that put all the info on the box, rather than the dispenser. It does bug me because I'm a label aficionado 😂

[@theannamueller]

the information can be on the package and on the product itself only a referral to it. rhode is not the first to handle it this way, it is pretty standard for all luxury brands. but anything to generate traffic by sensationalizing a non-existing scandal in the thumbnail, i guess

[@chez8219]

All I learned from this video is people like to attack celeb’s products because there’s a “target” people can go after. Mega beauty corporations like Loreal are constantly doing way worse than these celeb brands but somehow people are ok with that. Im not siding with anyone but i just find this pattern of behavior rather perplexing

[@saraht8562]

about the Rhode blushes: oh god, a quick google search and you've got all the info you need! And you can also just keep the packaging. People (I mean in general, not James) love to complain about litterally every single thing. You can never make everyone happy I guess...

[@minatozaki_Tabbi]

imo the Rhode one is fine . if someone needs any info they can keep the box . they did their due diligence without hiding or being deceptive imo . throwing it away without reading isn't responsibility of the brand 😅

[@EnvyBlu]

I think the Sephora ad was because all the makeup posted made up the colors of the rainbow….blue, purple, red, orange, yellow (kinda yellow lol) So it’s a rainbow, but also makeup. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It was a really crappy ad though lol 😂

[@Asenueh]

There are many other products touting transdermal magnesium absorption, like Epsom salts and magnesium oil, plus medications like estrogen being prescribed in transdermal patch form, so why is having magnesium in a leave-on product like deodorant any different?

[@AxelMacopelli]

I have no real feelings one way or the other about Hayley Bieber, but I think the lack of info on the blush component is fine. Would it be better to have it? Sure. But it's on the box, and if you want the info after you definitely got rid of the box, google takes seconds 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@alexisasheep6554]

about the blush, if it's in your pocket and against your body heat then I think the info should definitely be on the thing itself just in case, you never know even though I don't think most people will have in in their pocket

The link to the Vitamin D is that there are studies that show that vitamin D deficiency is part of the reason for extreme sweating, so as much as I get people think it brings Vitamin D to them, I’m convinced that the reference is for extreme sweaters

Ok so have an idea; what if all cosmetic products had a QR code on them and when you scan it shows exactly what’s in the product how much the course so on and so forth. U could even have the directions expiry dates and u can read it In every language?

Could the label on the bottom be an expanding foldout ? I have a shit ton of products that do this.
