    “Nanoparticle effectors”, “Body Intelligence” - I think I will report  this company to the Advertising Standards Authority.

    I’ve asked them whether or not their products are registered with the MHRA (medicines authority in the UK), and if so, what are the product license numbers

    because, believe it or not, I can’t find a trace of them on the MHRA’s website!

    probably won’t get a response, but it’s definitely worth asking the question instead of going straight to Trading Standards

    Hi everyone, I’m new to cosmetics but I have formulated a product to define curls in your natural hair. My ingredients are as follow; 

    Shea butter; Aloe Vera gel; Jojoba oil; Castor oil; Coconut oil; Hempseed oil; Lemon grass oil; Xanthan gum and distilled water.

    I need your help here on what natural preservatives to use from moulds and unwanted bacteria?

    For those interested, the Advertising Standards Authority has upheld my complaint against Lavylites:
    For products that would be classed as medicinal, either by function or presentation, marketers must hold a Marketing Authorisation (MA) from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) before advertising that product in the UK.  However, it seemed that the advertiser had no such licence and making such medicinal claims for an unauthorised product are contrary to Code rule 12.11 and constitutes a clear breach of the Code.” 
    However, the Web site is down “for maintenance” and as a result the ASA isn’t taking any action unless they put it back up again.

    Actually I see their site is back up again - however in a completely different form, and makes no unwarranted claims now. Fair enough.
