  1. The comments from the brands at the end ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃโ€ฆ really ??!!!

    1. Same. Tallow stinks. You have to dump an ungodly amount of fragrance oil into it to mask the smell. It’s not worth it when there so many great moisturizers already on the market.

    2. I meanโ€ฆ we already smell like hot dog water from our Vitamin C serumsโ€ฆ whatโ€™s a little beefy additive on top? ๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. “What are we taking notes on!?”๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

    I can understand people wanting to know exactly what products we put on our body, and I admittedly am guilty of believing this fearmonger-y narrative and making DIY skincare in my younger years. Once I went to college for degree in science, that’s when I got humbled and learned I don’t know ๐Ÿ’ฉ about skincare product formulations, and there’s a reason many cosmetic scientists have degrees in chemistry, if not graduate degrees! I am so thankful there are people out there who understand things like ingredient and skin interactions, product formulation and stability, and how to keep products from growing bacteria/mold/who-knows-what, because I don’t! Not to mention the clinical research that typically follows! I could have never gotten that level of certainty making whatever DIY face mask/moisturizer teenage-me was getting from “researched” blog posts. Nowadays, I exercise healthy skepticism, but am more than happy purchasing skincare from the experts who spent years researching and formulating products (and my skin has never looked better๐Ÿ˜Š).

    1. Thank you. It’s such a difficult situation. You almost can’t fight all of the fear mongering on social media because the influencer makes it sound so convincing, and they usually target kids or teens who don’t have former knowledge of the product except a scary documentary they might’ve watched. I’ve learned that an educated minority always beats an uninformed majority. Even if everyone did their own research, how do you research? What do you look for? Are these studies reputable? Is there bias here? Was the experiment done correctly? How long ago was it done? You know what I mean? It’s almost easier to believe the fearmongerers. And they’ll keep doing it because ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฒ. It’s so frustrating. But just like you, now whenever I come across someone on social media now that’s like, “look at the name of this chemical I can’t pronounce!” Or, “this chemical was used in this one thing, and now it’s being used in this other thing so that must mean it’s bad for us”, I am VERY skeptical. I tend to believe people that want to dispel fear and provide facts. I’m very much of the belief that we should just use what works for us. Everyone’s body is different. Find what works for you through trial and error.

    1. @@rumblefish9why? the comments are funny. almost like theyโ€™re making fun of people who do this nonsense

    1. @@Ssssssmmmmmmmmmyes, but Iโ€™m pretty sure the cost of buying all the necessary ingredients is higher then just buying a simple moisturiser.

    2. @@Ssssssmmmmmmmmmcvs brand moisturizer is super cheap heck even amazon sells a standard โ€œmoisturizerโ€ lol i just dont buy this excuse!! Skincare is basic af: cleanse moisturize spf. Treatments can be a necessity for medical purposes like acne, rosacea, etc and those treatments are budgeted

  3. Can’t wait to use my La Roche Posay beef tallow moisturizer ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜

  4. Yes! Let’s make our skin worse with homemade creams that go bad! Let’s not go for creams created by scientists and tested extensively. That’s a good idea. Not. I’m a CERAVE woman myself. At 57 years old, I have the best skin ever.

  5. ๐Ÿ˜‚ on my phone screen, Dr Dray’s profile picture perfectly fits over La Roche Posay’,s, so for like 2 seconds i was wondering why they had Dr Dray’s picture as their profile ๐Ÿ˜…

    1. You can easily buy a cheap lightweight emollient from a pharmacy for like a 1$ or so instead of spending 10+ dollars on this thick emollient

  6. These companies leave clever or funny comments on popular pages to drive more traffic to their page lol๐Ÿ˜…

  7. I think the Taking Notes comment meant that La Roche Posay might be taking notes on the fact that people can make this at home. However, we know this is not realistic for many reasons. La Roche Posay is NOT taking notes. Their products are superior to this. It was an offhand silly comment that doesnโ€™t make sense.

  8. to be fair, the people running the social media accounts probably aren’t the ones who know how to make the product ๐Ÿคฃ

  9. I love beef tallow as a moisturizer. People have used it for generations. I use it after my routine and my aging skin has never felt better!
