Shoppers want skin creams to have labelling
I was shocked to learn that some lotions studied by the council contained ingredients that could trigger allergic reactions. Some manufacturers have said they are adhering to accepted international standards, but that is not the point. Why are some firms reluctant to detail the ingredients on their products?
Labelling gives shoppers important information. If some firms continue to oppose mandatory labelling, then how can they expect consumers to trust them and remain loyal?
Apart from labelling, I would urge people to think carefully before buying some products, especially those making claims about improving your health. The best way to ensure you are in good health is to eat a nutritious diet and exercise regularly. Relying too much on creams full of chemicals is not the answer.
For the sake of transparency and to ensure consumers are fully informed, I hope the government will introduce mandatory labelling.
