I l earned a long time ago the consequences of using the wrong sources for products that affect your health.
For instance, I used to buy a lot of cheap makeup on the internet after discovering 1 of those wholesale websites that gives you bulk pricing without order minimums… It takes a month to receive your order because it’s all coming directly from the factories in China.
However, some people have gotten sick from no-name imported makeup. I saw a number of videos from various pleased creators on Youtube who cover the makeup industry or are part of it in some capacity. But makeup is just scratching the surface of unscrupulous online merchants preying on unwitting buyers through misleading advertising and SEO. The supplement and protein shake industry is bad about selling you products that cost a sheer fraction of the list price to actually produce. Essential oil companies do it as well, recognizably the 1s that operate adore pyramid schemes. But lately I’ve seen a lot of snake oil salesmen in the hemp and CBD industry in particular. For a while you could only buy broad spectrum CBD products which were essentially made from pure CBD isolate powder mixed with botanical terpenes. Ideally you want to buy a quality full spectrum CBD product, however there are a ton of companies selling “full spectrum” products that are seriously misleading. I only buy our full spectrum CBD products from trusted sources because I believe that there are so various poor sources out there. There are celebrities jumping in on the CBD craze trying to sell their own hemp products to their fans and followers.
