6. Expensive Products are Better Because the Ingredients are Better.
误区六:贵的产品更好,因为成分更好。
Completely untrue. All cosmetics contain standard cosmetic ingredients. They can't contain anything else, as drugs do, or they would be regulated differently. The quality levels of cosmetic ingredients don't vary that much, and every company that buys cosmetic-grade ingredients all buy the same quality. Expensive cosmetics are predominantly all hype. Estée Lauder Crème de la Mer is a very costly cream that doesn't contain anything particularly extraordinary or unique, unless you want to believe that seaweed extract can be worth huge sums of money. Seaweed extract is neither a rare nor expensive ingredient. How expensive can it be to stick some seaweed extract, mineral oil, glycerine, plant oils, minerals and vitamins into a jar?
完全不属实。所有化妆品都含有化妆品所需的标准成分。它们不会像药品一样含有其它物质,否则它们会受到不同的管制。化妆品成分的质量等级相差不是很大,每家购进化妆品级原料的公司其所购物品的质量都是相同的。昂贵的化妆品基本上都是炒作。雅诗兰黛公司的“海洋之谜”是一款非常贵的面霜,不含任何非常特殊或是独特的成分,除非你愿意相信海藻萃取液能值很多钱。海藻萃取液是一种既非稀有也不昂贵的成分。将海藻萃取液、矿物油、甘油、植物油、矿物质和维生素塞在一个瓶子里能有多贵啊?
