Cosmetics & Safety Seals

RinaRina — Fri, 27 Feb 2015 04:15:12 GMT

I was just reading some cosmetic reviews and I can't believe some manufacturers are still sending out cosmetics with no safety seals. One particular review said, quote: "How do I know this isn't a return item?" (Apparently, the reviewer had received product that had leaked out of the bottle.)

That is just ridiculous. (sigh.) I can't imagine getting a mask or a face serum with no safety seal on it. The nerve! How cheap! I always check anything I'm putting on my face to make sure it's properly sealed. Don't you?

I always lift the cap when I buy cottage cheese, cream cheese...etc at Costco. I get the bread from the back with the later date.

I was under the impression that cosmetic manufacturers cannot resell returns whether opened or not because you never know.

Returned cosmetics should not be allowed to be resold..... But I know for certain that the Ulta in my area does put things back on the shelf if you tell them you did not use/try it when they ask during the return process. Once I learned that, I started buying only sealed items in that store. I hope online buying is different.

It does not bother me if a product doesn't have a seal on it. If it's full and smells fine that's good enough for me.
