CountryGal Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 In putting together a website, do you list all the ingredients in your B&B products on the site or not and why?? Obviously, they have to be included in the packaging, but in purusing websites, I see some do and some don't. Just wanting to get some opinions. Thank you!

sudsnwicks Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have seen places which either don't have any ingredients or provide only a partial list. My guess is they don't want competitors to copy their formulas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I don't list ingredients as it is alot to put on the descript but on the plus side it would help for those people who MIGHT be allergic to some things.I use bases for my B&B.I only say dye free lotion and spray but scented with a skin safe fragrance.MIGHT think about it.Most sites I have been on do not list ingredients.Suppliers mostly from what I see.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I list them, since I want the customers who need the info to have it available.I've mod'd my osCommerce site to do it the way I want - when you see the product in a list, you don't see the ingredients, just the description. You have to go to the product's individual page to see the ingredients (and I've got text on the top of the list page that tells you that's where the ingredients are). Example: http://watersgulch.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=47_48 I agree it can be a lot of text, but I like to have it available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgie Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I list my ingredients on my website for those who might have allergies. I'm allergic to corn and I can't use/eat anything with corn in it. It's surprising how many personal use items have corn in them. I personally would never buy from a site that didn't list it's ingredients because I wouldn't want to pay to send it back or not be able to use it.

KristinesShower Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I list all of my ingredients and don't care if someone tries to copy me. Honestly, it took me like a year to come up with those formulas, so knock yourself out copycatters LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I totally agree with KristinesShower. I list everything. I receive far less redundant emails asking me for ingredients. I also have no returns either based on the contents of my products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamperme Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 NO..but I need to ..just have not gotten around to it yet.. but I think it is better to list them so customers know what they are getting and if they are allergic to anything in your product.

gerrie Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I don't have a site, but as a consumer I want to know what's in a product, so to me, no ingredient listing, no sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I won't vote cause I don't have a site, BUT I don't buy if I don't know what's in there. If I'm really motivated I may send an e-mail to ask, but those are often not answered which really gets my goat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Night Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I didn't vote because I don't have a website but I know a lot of people won't buy a product if they don't know what is in it. Lots of people have allergies or are vegans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 If I'm really motivated I may send an e-mail to ask, but those are often not answered which really gets my goat.Oh yes, I used to email to the big companies asking about their ingredients. Either I would not hear anything back or occasionally I'd get a canned response which didn't answer my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
