The real question to ask is why cosmetic manufacturers would choose to use compounds that would provide no more than a 10% improvement. Why wouldn’t all companies include the ingredients that provide a 30-40% improvement?

The answer to that question comes down to costs and profits. In order to make more profits, but continue to keep the … Read Full Article
