Natural Instinct & their LIES!
A Trusted brand??? or not!
GET your FULL REFUND!
This brand of products have finally come out to say what many of us already had a suspicion about & they have now been SUED!
They have been selling their products stating that they do not contain SLS aka sodium Lauryl Sulphate when in fact this WHOLE time they HAVE had this NASTY chemical in their products.
I really feel for the people who have been deceived by them this whole time.
The most disturbing fact is that the most effected products are the Baby Range.
If you use or have been wanting to use their product then i suggest you think again!
If you do not want to be using products with this ingredient in them then think again!
If you thought you could trust this brand, think again!
mmmm no wonder their products were SO CHEAP!
Here is exactly what you will find now on the correction notice that comes as a pop up on the Natural Instinct website (if your pop up blocker doesn't get to it first as mine did).
