I’ve got lots of unrelated thoughts ricocheting around in my head, getting in my way when I attempt to write some longer posts (some reviews, a few rants, some policies for the site, a glossary-of-sorts).

Knowing this can help you spot repackaged products, contact the actual manufacturer if there’s a health problem, and see which “original” products from your favorite indie MMU company really are their own creation. (Interestingly enough, I think that many of the cosmetics companies I purchase from need to add some information to their labels to be fully in compliance.)
