I received my order today. Some of his items are manufactured in PRC and some are manufactured in ROC. I know PRC is People Republic of China. What does ROC stand for(Republic of China)? Why can't they just say made in China. I wish he would also manufacture his color line in the USA. I don't like buying cosmetics from China. Thanks

According to wikipedia: Although the name China is used by both the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China (ROC), the label "Made in China" is generally affixed to products made in the former. Products made in the ROC do not use the "Made in China" label. Rather, they usually use "Made in Taiwan", "Made in ROC" or "Made in Taiwan, ROC.

The product descriptions list where the cosmetics are made, so you won't need to be surprised when you receive them. Sorry you are disappointed.

What good is it to complain in a chat board of a company that does not carry that line? Call Skinn, or Facebook them, or write Skinn a letter.

Hmmm, OP. That does seem a bit off. If I had read that before ordering I would have also believed it all to be made in USA.
