Reducing costs of formulas
I did a piece for Prospector about reducing formula costs. A couple people have posted comments disagreeing with my suggestion to add “carcinogenic materials like mineral oil and propylene glycol”. If you’d like to see the article or weigh in with your opinion, you can post here.

I agree with the article but I think cost reducing should be done with care. Of course only a few notice a small fragrance difference, but even 1 out of 15 means 10000 out of 150000 and that could mean 6,7 % loss in sales…

It takes a lot of testing to be sure the cost savings is worth it.

Did they object the sarcasm or the to the diluent idea? They may have not comprehended the first.

I didn’t actually say add carcinogens. I said to add more mineral oil which this person thinks is a carcinogen apparently.
