CHAZ, 

How can I get a replacement dropper for my 1 oz. oils.  I have three bottles of this that the rubber on the dropper has deteriorated and separated, making the dropper unusable!  I have purchased thousands of dollars old WEN products over the years for myself and my family, including the gallons of shampoo/conditioner and this is the first time I have been unhappy.  I have contacted both WEN directly (they were very unwilling to assist me) and QVC (they couldn't help me).  Considering what these items cost, I would appreciate some assistance.

 

Thank You

 

Pam Cole

@GrandmaPam  Sorry Pam.  I was going to say contact Chaz Dean CS but you have already done so.

Chaz doesn't read the forums (though Cooper does). I would recommend calling the number of the back of the bottle and asking them. Chaz always tells us to call that number of we have any questions.

I know you probably don't want to buy anything more, but amazon sells empty one-ounce amber glass dropper bottles really cheap. I paid around $6 for a set of six bottles and the seller shipped them to me for free.Woman Happy

It's easier to just buy a set of 6 - 1/2 oz amber dropper bottles for $5.50 or a set of 6 - 1 oz amber dropper bottles for $6 + free shipping on Ebay. That way you can put the oils that come in the small plastic bottles in a glass bottle. They will last longer.

I use the 1 oz bottles when I make beard oil for DH.

Have never used Wen but my friend does and she loves it. I've read about these types of complaints before and I wonder...

   Whatever that ingredient is in the product that is deteriorating the rubber on the dropper then, what may it be doing to your hair or skin? With this knowledge, I would not purchase.

@Tabbycat It's the essential oils In Wen that deteriorate the rubber. Essential oils I have bought have a plastic orifice instead of in a dropper type bottle. Since Wen oils are used on the hair/scalp the orifice is not pratical. It's only been a problem in the small plastic Wen bottles not the large glass dropper amber bottles.

I just received the large glass dropper amber bottle and unfortunately I will be returning it tomorrow.  The rubber has deteriorated so much that oil was all over the inside of the package.

Any oil will break down rubber.  That's why it is advised to not use oil-based lubricants with contraceptive devices that are made of rubber, for example.
