Women start economizing - they go to the commercial store brands - Neutrogena, Olay, etc, or to on-line health stores for same ingredients at 1/3 of price. China's economy taking a slash, US getting cautious, Japan in negative territory, and India women make mostly make their own products - so the women of the household start economizing on a personal level.
Sucks to be peddling over-priced, useless products doesn't it?
