It’s time I address this company. I can’t respect a company that builds itself up by tearing other companies down. The worst part is, the main thing they use to build themselves up is being “water free” and talking down about companies that use water in their skincare. But here’s the kicker, friends, not only is water CRUCIAL in skincare. Oliveda USES it! I’ve seen it as the SECOND ingredient in their products… I just can’t.
But despite that little fact that drives me insane, let’s dive deeper into why this is not a company I would be comfortable using or recommending.
Transparency is a must for me when I’m looking at companies I’m going to give my business to. Oliveda is so far from transparent it is painful. The way I look at it is they are preying on consumers who don’t think to read the ingredient label or feel they don’t know enough to even know what ingredients they are looking for. So, those people typically look at the badges to see if a brand is clean. Badges are a great way to demonstrate specific qualities of a product. Unless they are inaccurate and contradictory to your products… then they’re just a greenwashing tactic to trick consumers. Yuck.
Here you can see water as the second ingredient. You can see fragrance despite the “fragrance free” badge. You can also see zero indication of a single organic ingredient while they have labeled their entire brand as “organic” (which isn’t even possible by the way).
This alone is enough to keep me from ever giving my money to this brand or recommending them to anyone else. But they also use a few toxic ingredients as well (despite claims of being toxin free by those partnered with them). And this is why I do these reviews. Women (and men) deserve to know if they are using products linked to serious diseases or brands that are completely misleading and untrustworthy.
