Elemis- another company talking about 'therapeutic grade' essential oils etc...

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

 

We have a brand called Elemis in the UK, may be in the States too.I have a link

to their product page in CentreParcs and it is rather funny the BS they say

about their products, particularly how they describe their formula's as ancient.

Hi Rebecca,

 

You are so right about the plethora of cosmetic companies who make marketing

claims that when examined are pretty flimsy.

 

Elemis is a 20-year old cosmetic company. They are like many other large

corporations who are engaged in 'greenwashing' their products in order to

compete with the emerging natural cosmetic movement. In this case, they are

exploiting the current trend for 'ancient' theories and formulaes. It is

all marketing hype. Here's their story on their company website:

http://www.elemis.com/OurStory/Default.aspx I would compare them to Aveda

here in the U.S.

 

It was relatively easy to expose DoTerra here in the U.S. because they were

blatantly misleading customers into thinking they had an official government

approval or certification for the quality of their essential oils that they

did not. It was a scam easily exposed. Marketing hype is a little muddier

and there are so many big cosmetic companies out there that I think our time

might be best focused on essential oils themselves and teaching people how

to determine quality on their own.

 

I'm tardy on the follow-on article I promised about what to look for and how

to determine quality essentialy oils on the blog; hopefully I can get to it

by the weekend. Things are really busy for us and we have several people

out with the flu. I haven't forgotten about this; just have to segue energy

elsewhere for a bit. There may be information in the files here that can

help some of the newbies, also.

 

Be Well,

I am new to the group.I have read through a majority of the posts and am excited

to find a group that takes so seriously the benefits of essential oils. I am

excited to read more and learn from the group.

However, I do want to add that I have never been led to believe that doTERRA had

any FDA approval. This is news to me that the company expounded any such

information.
