Instead, they used a weaker method comparing the before-and-after differences within each group. The same goes for the tan. The fact that the company did the testing itself could also raise a red flag. Branding personal care products with clinical claims is a very common strategy, an expert who studies consumer marketing told Reuters Health. While some people will want to see and feel an impact, he said, for many the clinical claim alone suffices.
In another experiment, Laboratoires Inneov scientists gave the tanning pill to 80 women and asked them to sunbathe as they normally would over the summer, applying sunscreen at their discretion. Then they asked dermatologists, recruited by a company paid by Laboratoires Inneov, a series of questions about how these women fared. According to the report, the dermatologists told Laboratoires Inneov the product prevented sunburns. But the study did not answer a number of questions: How did the women usually do in the summer?
Did they end up like boiled lobsters or were they careful not to get burned?

For companies like Lush, which pride themselves in handmade products, the goal may be to steer clear of the latest chemicals that haven't had as much testing as tried-and tru-materials. But for other companies, "natural" could mean chemicals that aren't tested, Lochhead said.
And products carrying the label may also not carry critical preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria. What it sounds like: A marketing gimmick to make a product seem worth purchasing. What it means: Honey, pomegranate seeds, and avocado oil are all fun to see added to your favorite cosmetics. But are they actually helping? In some cases, yes.
