RAI update - tanTALK

lil_missfit · 11-07-2004, 06:44 PM

I use to carry this line and they really push the issue of being aloe based while others are water/aqua. Today at the ETS seminar, someone asked the question. If they are aloe based and your water based, how can I sell your lotion over theirs? Chris explained that they are such a large company that they have to list the ingredients in aloe (water being 70% of aloe)in their ingredients list. RAI being a smaller company can get away with just stating "aloe". Not sure the whole take on this, but it's something to keep in mind.

This can be true. Many bottles will list aloe in different ways. There are some that claim they have straight leaf juice and there are some that claim that it's in concentrated power form mixed with water. Either way most of it is water.

I personally think that if it's a concentrate then it should be listed as so and same goes with straight leaf juice.

Are you serious? Wht do you expect him to say? Coke is water based too but I'd rather drink a Coke. There is no question that Aloe is better for your skin. By the way as far as I know all companies have to list ingrediants regardless of size. How big or small does a company have to be to get away with false ingrediant lists?

Can't say if both people are correct. Water isn't water is 2 parts Hydrogen, 1 part oxygen. How far do we break it down?
