Consumer Notice:
Many unauthorized online stores are selling discontinued beauty products. Discontinued products are old resulting in loss of their effectiveness - way past their shelf life and should have been thrown away.
"Mass retailers, unauthorized online stores or grocery stores selling professional hair care products have obtained them trough the gray or black market and many of these "diverted" products have been found to be counterfeit, OLD (discontinued previous packaging) or contaminated with harmful bacteria".
How Do You Know if a product is diverted?
Be proactive.
Familiarize yourself with current packaging, as packaging does change from year to year.
When in doubt, call the manufacturer with the barcode in hand. They can ring up the batch number and tell you exactly when the product was created.
Things to look for:
-
If the product line is spotty- with only a few items (a shampoo with no conditioner, and maybe a leave-in conditioner)
-
The line is never really kept in stock.
-
The packaging is not current.
Then it is probably diverted.
Check out our list of discontinued item before you buy.
If You see any of these items online, Don't risk it, don't buy them!
