Let’s Talk About White-Label Products: What’s Really Inside?
Lately, I’ve had a lot of people ask me about certain popular products in comparison to others, like TLC—specifically about a certain pink product, and whether it’s truly unique or simply another example of a white-label product. So, let’s dive in and explore what’s going on behind the scenes.
The Beauty Industry and White-Label Products
In the beauty industry, white-label products are quite common. Brands often use standardized formulations from a manufacturer, tweak the marketing, and package it as their own. This practice is especially prevalent in South Korea, a major hub for beauty manufacturing. Now, this doesn’t automatically mean a product is bad, but it does raise questions about how different products are marketed, especially when identical ingredients are presented as something entirely new.
Take the following ingredient list for Boo Lash & Brow Balm & Boost Step 2 Infusion Elixir:
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
- Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil
- Synthetic Beeswax
- Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter
- Niacinamide
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
- Lithospermum Erythrorhizon Root Extract
- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
- Tocopheryl Acetate
- Panthenol
- Biotin
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
- Copper Tripeptide-1
- Adenosine
- Various forms of Sodium Hyaluronate
This list may look familiar because it appears in multiple products, each claiming to be hydrating, strengthening, and restorative. But here’s where things get interesting. While these ingredients are often marketed as an “infusion” or “preventing damage,” what they might actually be doing is creating a barrier to lock in moisture. Ingredients like shea butter, beeswax, and oils are great for forming a protective seal, but are they really repairing anything?
In fact, when these ingredients are applied after the most damaging step in treatments like lash lifts or brow laminations, one has to wonder: what are they preventing? Neutralizers used in these processes don’t damage the hair unless grossly overused, so the role of these products is more about preserving than restoring.
So, while brands claim these products are game-changers, it’s important to look beyond the marketing. White-labeling means you could be paying premium prices for something that another brand sells with similar results, and the difference may come down to the packaging or the narrative they’re selling.
White Label Multi-Step Dilemma
White-label products often share similar base formulas marketed under different brands. Many of these products promise big results but rely on multi-step systems that overcomplicate routines.
For example, these white-label brands offer a second step they claim “infusion” and “helps prevent damage,” but this is followed by a necessary third step (a neutralizer) and a recommended FOURTH step for final nourishment or conditioning. This layered approach forces consumers to invest in multiple products to achieve their desired results. But, more importantly if their Step 2 was so successful/fantastic, Users wouldn’t need a Fourth step like all the others systems applying a third step that conditions.
Introducing Lift JuJu™ TLC: A Game-Changing Approach
Unlike white-label offerings, Lift JuJu™ TLC is formulated with an advanced second-step system that eliminates the need for third or fourth products like a separate nourishing or conditioning step. It’s a one-stop powerhouse, designed to restore, nourish, strengthen, and condition in a single application.
