According to a study done by Valdosta State University, four out of five beauty care brands do not deliver their own claims. Using misleading advertisement, these brands are claiming that their products can make beauty miracles without substantiation. In the previous study mentioned, the authors examined 757 claims by beauty and personal care brands from 300 full-page ads.
These ads are from popular magazines, such as:
- Vogue
- Marie Claire
- And Glamour
All the claims in the ads are classified into four labels: outright lie, omission, vague, and acceptable. According to the study, out of the 757 claims, 621 are only claims, 18% of the claims are acceptable, while only 14% of the claims are trustworthy.
What Are the Types of Deceptive Advertising?
Deceptive advertising and labeling take many forms when it comes to beauty products but some recent trends include:
- Labeling Products as Clean that Contain Toxic Chemicals
- Labeling Products as Vegan when they Contain Beeswax or other Animal Byproducts.
- Labeling Products as “Oil Free” That Actually Contain Oil
