Wow, thank you @Perry! I am copying and pasting your comment into my notebook. Your answer puts everything that has been crazy in my mind into the right perspective. Again, thank you!

@Perry - You are correct. I should not have said “no one cares”. That was an extreme overstatement.
And to further say to all - I have nothing against farm wives. I grew up on a farm. I said what I said due to my research of cosmetic chemicals and my observation of uneducated blog rants (I’ve seen way too many blogs lately, making my head explode). I’m a natural blonde if anyone wants to strike back. I’m good with it.

I realize this post is a slightly old but I’m saying something regardless…
@Alias, I feel your pain! I hear you loudly and clearly! There’s not much we can do about the liars and cheats, as there’s one around every corner and in every crack. Even so, what we ourselves try to do is make the consumer think a little by placing a disclaimer type blotter on our products. We state the following - “Our promise to you: We will always label our products correctly, to the best of our knowledge, according to the FDA rules and regulations. We will never be deceitful about our ingredients or our use of preservatives by hiding them in the form of extracts or other means.” - The mislabeling and preservative free type business crowd gets under our skin! Perhaps you can state something like that as well to at least get the consumer thinking.
By other companies lying and cheating, it hurts our truthful business practices and profit lines. But we live in a “post truth” (2016 word of the year) society. No one cares about absolute truth anymore and they live like lemmings jumping off the cliff believing every piece of fear mongering chemical attack there is posted on every uneducated blog. We, ourselves, choose to educate ourselves; not by reading Miss Uneducated Farm Wife of the year’s buy my all natural soap blogger type, but by reading what the science has to say and we try to educate our consumers as well. It’s the most we can do.

Belassi,
Thank you for everything you contribute on this forum. I’ve read a ton of your responses and learned much from you. You deserve a little “off topic” help. I hope you get the contract and are able to move forward with your lab!
I nominated you!
