Do you trust cosmetics from open markets?

Last week I did a talk in Dallas for the Southwest SCC. It was a good meeting and I felt fortunate to be invited.

While walking around Dallas after the meeting, I stumbled upon this open market where people were selling trinkets, crafts, food, and personal care products.

I don’t know about you but I’m always a little skeptical of DIY or hand-made cosmetics. I wonder about the testing that was done and just the general stability of products.

My suggestion is to stick with the store brands. These places are great for getting ideas for new products but as the products themselves go, I’d avoid them.
