There is a lot of hostility against major cosmetic companies for all the lies they have been telling us. They make false claims about their products just to make the public pay exorbitant prices. This has led to the belief that they are not ethical in their practices, and all they want is large profits.

False advertising in cosmetics is the instrument which the cosmetic industry uses to fleece money from their consumers. Once you are cheated by them you will not feel like using their product again, but how many people would realize this?

The only thing you can do is to change over to natural and organic products. Purchase them from smaller local businesses that make their own products at home and also offer good beauty advice.

You may also wonder whether there is any law to protect you from the false claims made by these cosmetic giants.

What Can You do in Case You Find Out You have been Lied to?

• You can register a complaint against a cosmetic company. This can happen only if an informed consumer, like you and me, or a consumer group challenges the claims made by the said company and has evidence to back it up.
• These companies have a lot of money. They are even backed by professional law firms. There is a possibility that you may not even reach the court but if you have a strong case you may succeed.
• It will help a lot if you have the media on your side. Write to newspapers and magazines, start a blog, create a group on social networking sites specifically for your case, spread the news to everyone you know. This will make a lot of difference. The media will help you in court and if a huge hue and cry is made about the issue, it may help you get an out of court settlement.
• This is only a short-term strategy. The best way is to boycott such companies and switch over to natural and organic options.
