I saw a bit of the Skinn presentation and noticed some of the containers of his cream products are the same as the eye gel and retinol containers from Baebody. Coincidence or is Dimitri making the Baebody products?  Just a thought.

Sometimes one company will sell the formula and packaging rights to another company.  I saw this with Model's Prefer eyebrow pencils (the one where it gets darker when you press down harder) when MP went out of business.  Then one day IT Cosmetics was on the Q with the same pencil, in the same packaging, I bought it (because I loved the MP one) and it is exactly the same.  This may not be the case with the product you have mentiioned, but it does happen ....

Dimitri has said he makes formulas for other companies at his factories.

@blackhole99 That's along the same line I was thinking in. Private label manufacturing is a pretty common practice in the beauty industry

They probably buy their containers from the same supplier.

MP didn’t go out of business.  She renamed the company to YBF when she went to HSN. I just looked and you still can buy her eyebrow pencil.

Thank you for the updated info.....Woman Happy   I was buying the same product from IT, labeled IT instead if MP in the same silver-tone packaging with a spoolie on one end and what seemed to me to be the exact same product. ???  I have since moved on to another type from IT (a gel pencil) but have found yet another I like even better from yet another company and around and round we go... Woman Very Happy
