as a chemistry student, i'm perpetually enraged by the "oh no i can't pronounce it so it's bad" and the "scary! chemicals are bad for you" narrative. everything is a chemical!! the air is full of chemicals! they're called nitrogen and oxygen and hydrogen! your skin is full of chemicals! aaaa maddening

THIS FOR REALS. ads r always like “we’re so much better than everyone else cause we use ingredients you can find in ur freaking kitchen or whatever tf” but obv they would have to know how compounds are named and just how harmful or benign commonly used ingredients actually are. they fully know that theyre being INCREDIBLYY misleading. such clear fear mongering from companies that know better, its so irritating also not to mention it takes away from the efforts of brands that actually care abt using sustainable, safe ingredients

"I can't pronounce it so it must be bad!' was a debate I had with someone recently. I asked them if they avoided tocopheryl acetate and they said 'yeah!' while rubbing a Vitamin E lotion into their hands. I pointed out that some ingredients are perfectly natural but for the sake of formulation or sourcing, they're called their scientific name. The person still tried to argue that 'if it's natural, they should just call it that!' and I had to point out that regional names for the same ingredient can differ wildly so it's better to be safe than risk a mistranslation that could put an irritant into a batch of something.

[@alexia3552]

The true counter to the problem of actually toxic compounds ending up where they do not belong was wider education on chemistry. Instead we got a cultural phobia movement. If you don't even understand what you're afraid of, you won't know enough to actually successfully identify and avoid it. (I'm talking about actually harmful chemicals like PFAs, to be extra clear)

After Fenty launched their foundations, everyone knew that having a full inclusive shade range for foundations was possible. For companies to do a release & not have inclusive darker shade ranges, its due to laziness & tone deafness, and there’s no good excuse.

[@Jessie12N]

The one thing I like about fenty, they didn't just give importance to making sure they have shades for black people but everyone! So many brands think if they have a good shade range for black people they are good, but I am indian and a lot of brands still are very bad with making makeup for brown people, so bravo to fenty to catering to everyone! they deserve the popularity they have.

Ok, but it’s the exact same thing as race swapping by using Black people in tokenized roles. The community jumps EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. to defend these table scraps. Tokenization isn’t rep, companies use outrage marketing using Black bodies CONSTANTLY but don’t actually put the work in. The movies/shows are always trash, then the company turns around and further uses PoC, often BW to accuse accuse people launching valid criticism of how bad the show or movie is as “racists” which generates further resentment. All of which the PoC put into these tokenized roles have to deal with as they get bullied wildly. The companies know this will happen, they just treat PoC as disposable rage bait. All the while, zero accountability for how little rep for non-Eurocentric stories/cultures/histories/folklore there is not only in the media itself, but behind the camera. If the media wasn’t Eurocentric, then every role behind the camera wouldn’t be yt and that’s the purpose of tokenization. Maintaining the status quo. Like Charlemagne said, just bc racists hate it, don’t make it good. Makeup companies do this on purpose FOR the reaction to generate more views for less ad money. People get FOMO because most ppl are the medium range, then rush out to try it. If the community just didn’t fuck with any brands that have deliberate launches like this, just looked at it, said “not for me, ok, I’ll spend my money elsewhere” this type of rage/FOMO marketing would end. Instead, people jump everytime the crony capitalists say so.

[@awetistic5295]

The "natural is better" fallacy is one of my biggest pet peeves. 9 of the 10 most toxic substances known to mankind are natural. Natural ingredients are much more likely to give you an allergic reaction. That's why I, as a person with multiple allergies, haven't found an organic or "clean" skincare brand yet that I can use. And don't get me started on the "chemical" fearmongering. Maybe I have horrible prejudices myself, but after the "ingredients you can pronounce" bs I wasn't surprised by the sad cat apology and the 50 Shades of White shade range.

From a chemistry perspective, you would think “clean” ought to refer to lab synthesised lol. Little to no impurities, rigorously tested and quality-controlled. Natural substances are “dirty” as hell, there’s always a bunch of impurities in them unless you refine the ever loving fuck out of them and the amount of each active ingredient you get is different every time depending on the source, because of inherent variation in biology.

The simple come-back for people complaining about not being able to pronounce ingredients is... learn to pronounce them, learn what they are. It's not actually as scary as it seems. You can google most ingredients to get a basic summary of what it's function is in makeup. There are loads of safety data sheets online and stuff, also lots of handy audio clips and videos to teach you how to pronounce things. Not being able to pronounce something is a fixable problem.

The intern excuse was always so weird to me, especially now that we live in an age where social media is so ubiquitous.

It also doesn't make sense to have an intern running one of the most pivotal areas of your business. Social media is one of the major points of contact to your customers and potential customers.

[@pigeon_person]

I have never understood why brands are so awful with diverse shade ranges- surely it would be best to pick one of the lightest shades you can, one of the darkest shades you can and 3 midtones, spaced evenly apart? Then for each of those shades have a warm, cool and neutral version. That way even if you dont have a perfect match, you have what you need to mix one! I may be wrong (I'm no expert) but that seems like a decent way of including as many people as you can with a limited range.

I just started and I'm sure you'll be talking about it, but I remember when they brought out a foundation a couple years ago and it was basically 50 shades of beige and 3 medium to deep tones. And then they had the audacity to send the PR packages to black creators like Jackie Aina, Alissa Ashley and Nyma Tang. I never bought from them at that point and they only cemented themselves on my future no-buy list with that action. I'm going where I'm invited from the start and not an afterthought.

Yeah what's crazy is their shades still didn't work for me even though I'm fair af. Now I only use products supported by black influencers because why support a product that can't work for everyone? I love using products by black owned companies like sunscreen, I get a weird grey shade too even though I'm pale, but it's because I'm a very warm undertone person, so I use products that don't have that issue.

As a marketing person with professional experience myself, I don’t understand how these multimillion dollar brands with huge teams of “professionals” do things like this. I’ve done social media for companies-at least for a decent company, all posts have to go through several people to get approval. Who are they hiring to do their social media posts?! They can’t keep throwing interns under the bus, at some point the problems are coming from within.

I actually had a biology professor in college who saw the way that the cosmetic industry was headed with their "clean" BS and told our class, so because snake venom and poison ivy are natural, would you like some?

In part because of their laughable lack of accountability and representation in the beauty space and the fact that their products can easily be beat by drugstore products. 💁‍♀️

[@DarlingMissDarling]

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Ive noticed a huge number of white, progressive influencers who will call out a brand for poor shade range but will not stop buying & promoting that brand. Tarte is absolutely trying to push away BIPOC customers, and we should all be boycotting them. It's insane that in 2023 the beauty community cannot stand up & resolve this issue - brands are flat out lying & we keep allowing it. It's disgusting how so many customers & influencers are loyal to brands and personas, and derive identity from them, and just give lip service to ethics.

[@taranullius9221]

They also treat nations outside of the US poorly (as many brands do). I wouldn't use MUFE they're not cf but they don't bother to get fair shades in. They have a sole N00, a R102 and then it jumps up to maybe 1 x 06 (forget undertone! Soz) and then wall to wall medium. We don't get the products you do, we don't get minis generally and they block us from ordering them in from sites like Cult Beauty. Tarte's mini-shape tape comes in 2 shades in Australia - that's it. Both medium. Covergirl with their 40 shade range? They sell 6 in Australia. Six. Lightest is L3. I think they have a tan shade. That's it. Tired of it.

[@taranullius9221]

She absolutely knew what she was doing by naming the brand Tarte. Back at the advent of the brand, during the hyper-sexualization of makeup, brands were constantly trying to pander to that trend and push the envelope. Plume wasn’t actually a bad name, but it wasn’t “shocking” enough, so I’m betting she chose Tarte to skate the line between cutesy and sexual. There’s nothing wrong with sexual expression, but these brands (Tarte, Too Faced, NARS, etc.) have all been pulling “tee hee” moments for years and it’s so annoying.

Thank you, Robert, you are 100% correct!!! And as far as the foundation goes, the problem with MOST cosmetic brands is they don't give a damn about women of color at all.
