Very often I confronted with such statements. In general, when people see no difference in the effect of, for example, a cream or serum of different brands.
Today Let us examine this question in detail.
Thus, cosmetics are not always pours from one cask, and if it pours - the different compositions. The fact that in one factory produce cosmetic products of several firms - this is normal.
Each of the company - its formula of cosmetic products. And their ingredient suppliers. This information - trade secrets.
Other ingredients
Ingredients in cosmetics is known for quality. For example, if you need to buy shea butter, then cosmetics manufacturer has several options: to buy a high-quality (those that use manual labor of African women and collect nuts from the old trees in the rainy season) Diluted with hexane or oil with nuts young trees (quality is lower, but is produced in large quantities).
Hyaluronic acid (hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans), Too, is different quality and different prices. Thus, manufacturers of hyaluronic acid is cheaper to get it from
rooster comb than, for example, from synovial fluid (that's what filled joint cavity). Gialuronka quality is determined by its purity (no protein impurities), and other parameters, which will be understood only by biochemists.Different proportions of the formula and
Vitamin A or C have several forms. Both vitamin - stable in use, and if they are still together in a convoy, "extinguish" each other's work in antioksidantivnyh properties.
To stabilize the concentration of vitamin C - a difficult task, and hundreds of chemical tested formulas. For example, at Kiehl's have a concentrate of vitamin C anti-wrinkle, they are constantly updating formula. And in order to launch a new concentrate with a stable form of vitamin C - 90 until they were tested for this formula.
And by the way, if the serum with a high content of vitamin C in humans, for example, sprinkled face, then he should not give up on this vitamin. Just allergic to one of its forms.
Form of vitamin A - is generally a separate conversation. Yes, retinoids treat acne, rejuvenate, able to fight even with pigmentation, but their behavior is unpredictable: strongly exfoliate, face like a ripe cherry and other "fun" consequences.
Those brands who have their own laboratories, and do not buy formula, can be trusted. But the value of their products includes the cost of maintaining a laboratory, and employees. So the price kremikov 5-10 thousand. rubles often justified economically.
Cosmetics manufacturers may have their own laboratory or make use of services provided by external laboratories. In major brands do not buy formula.
Proportion - also an interesting point. Mix the water with the oil without emulsifiers and solvents - it is impossible. Otherwise, in a jar would have been incomprehensible to swill oil droplets, which without preservatives will deteriorate more in the way home from the store. How much percentage should be synthetic components, which make the water with oil to a homogenous mass - manufacturer decides. Each of them - different proportions, and it shows at the texture of a cream or gel.
One "barrel", one composition but different concentration of the ingredients
You heard about cosmetics Mixit? If you often sit in Instagrame, then 100% heard. At a price not far from the budget, and with loud promises of effect.
They have a cleansing clay mask Tiffany's Mask. Price - a little more than 500 rubles. It is produced in Ramenskoye (Moscow region).
Now the most interesting - it has the texture and flavor reminiscent Vilenta Cool Pure Pure, which costs about 100 rubles. Composition, at first glance, they have almost the same, the first three components do not differ.
You can buy both the mask and see their composition and address of production. Well, or at Ayrekkomends see the composition of photos and compare. At first glance, there's a lot in common :-) And in general, I do not like mix, but that's another story.
But! In Vilenta Cool Pure Pure on the fourth position - titanium dioxide, it serves as an inert filler masks, and it is often an allergy (for oily skin is not suitable). In Mixit its content is much smaller. But Mixit contains glycerin, while Vilenta contains oil. We see that for almost the same components Mixit longer comes as a moisturizing mask and Vilenta - like nutrient.
With one barrel can not be dispensed with consistency different properties simultaneously.
Different "holes"
Have their own production lines - very expensive. This can afford the big brands that produce mass-market cosmetics (which almost can not be found in every supermarket), and a pair of luxury brands niche cosmetics (serum value of the average salary for Russia).
The rest use the service contract manufacturing of cosmetics. They are, so to speak, to rent production lines and add their own ingredients in the cooker, stir, to monitor the temperature and sterility. Or take advantage of the production of "turnkey" - when the plant is fully produces a final product and packs up on jars, tubes.
There are a lot of nuances. For example, to reduce production costs, use digesters with a cooling function, and do not break these processes on different equipment. The quality is not affected, only the manufacturer can by reducing costs to make margins more.
The Russian plant for the production of cosmetics abound. The Kaluga Region is a factory "Vorsino", which produces Elselve shampoo (L'Oreal Paris) and Fructis (Garnier), as well as balms and hair dye Garnier. In Domix (Russian manufacturer of cosmetics and, as for me, they are the best tools for the care of nails and hands and pedicure) their production, they even produce for Fantasy Nails varnishes to strengthen nails (now for many it will be shocking information).
List can be long Russian factories for the production of cosmetics, easier zaguglit you own the information. But the fact that the production capacity we have enough. And now the Korean manufacturers are looking to contract manufacturing of its luxury assets in our factories. It will be cheaper than to mess with the declarations and abroad.
So barrels - different formulas - different. If one barrel - then pour the different formulations with different ingredients. There is no such that one mass is filled in different bottles. And this mass will be different at least in composition.
If you are interesting materials for our plants that produce both of makeup - put a "thumbs up", so as not to miss. Because I love such places excursions.
