Thoughts on Herbivore?

I’m curious about some of the Herbivore facial oils, but I’ve heard mixed things about the brand. Anyone here have any personal experience with their products?

I’ve only tried the blue tansy mask and it turned from a beautiful bright blue color to a brownish green less than a month after opening. It was kept in a cool dark room. I returned it and refuse to purchase anything else from the brand. I also heard that mold was found in Pink Cloud a couple of years ago. Their website says that they use a “natural preservative call Radish Root Ferment or Leuconostoc/Leucidal which helps prevent the growth of mold and bacteria”. It is a safe preservative but not as effective as other preservatives found in skincare.

Uhg that sounds unpleasant. I like natural ingredients but I’m fine with preservatives if it means my product doesn’t go bad.

Their products turn bad or grow molds quickly. And they’re not cheap. I’d buy them only in small sizes.

Yeah the other commenter mentioned the lack of preservatives issue. That’s a pretty big con in my book.

Hello, this is an overhyped brand. If you look at their ingredients for some products, it doesn't actually contain the ingredients it claims it does. I almost bought one of their items, but thankfully I didn't because I did some research 🤓

I haven't tried their products and now I probably won't considering the bakuchiol scandal going on. Among other things.

What’s the deal with this scandal? This is the first I’m hearing about it
