With all the air time Philosophy gets one would think they could take a minute to tell "x Philosophy loyalist" that they sold the company and why the products aren't like they use to be. Never before have I felt betrayed by a company as I do now.

That's unrealistic, sadly. It's more about profit than ever now, and they're not going to explain that formulations were altered to be able to make more money. I'm guessing they'd claim that the new formulations are BETTER! That's why it's up to us to learn and share what we can.

I'd love a caller to ask that question on air, though, just to see them tap dance.

I know how you feel but unfortunately, no company has done that, nor will they ever do that. They will claim they are the same products as they always were or "reformulated" to make them better, which we know is almost never the case.

I can tell you feel strongly about this, so please don't take offense to these questions (they are not intended to be adversarial). When has any company done this, and why would they? Companies are bought and sold all the time, resulting in changes to the product. Philosophy is no different.

Get ready to be betrayed by Tarte, too, if you are a user. In fact, I think it already happened. But I know what you mean...

Colonel Meow, No offense taken. I was being sarcastic. I realize in the real would that would never happen. Wrote the post in a moment of weakness understanding if they haven't listen to us by now...probably never will. Oh well, don't have to give my money to them anymore at least. Thank you for your kindness in your reply though. That was refreshing.

I am so surprised this hasn't happened in the few years I've watched. But I suppose QVC has a delay or something for callers so they can "drop" the call if a caller starts going down that roard. Don't you think?

Well, of course I would be kind to you. It looks like you don't post here often, so I didn't want to scare you off, lol!

The only way to communicate with most companies is to stop buying their products; the message is received, loud and clear! I have been surprised how many other bath products are out there and are as good or even better than Philosophy...and much less money also.
