| So...what's happened since the sale some months ago? Is Remergent technology now being incorporated into some Estee Lauder product, and if so, which one? Or did they buy it just to bury it? (Sad if true, but there is precedent for that--years ago, General Motors bought out a number of city streetcar lines and just dug up the rails and ended service.) |

Still no REMERGENT relevant thing appeared in EL company website, and the latest acquired one is OJON.
It seems that EL will not lose this opportunity to make fortune. Just like the SkinCeuticals to L'OREAL, DDF to P&G, REMERGENT could be another LA MER thing  |

From an "insider's" point of view, this is the Big Cosmetic House corporate plan! If a small company creates a succesful product, they'll buy the small company and either re-brand and re-market the product or kill it. If a supplier creates a raw material that is new, novel and very active, they'll take it and patent it into several formulas so that nobody else can use it. It is control and conquer at any cost, just so they can keep the market cornered and at the high prices they want to charge. It happens all the time and L'Oreal, Coty, Estee, Johnson & Johnson are some of the worst offenders.

Holy wha?!?!? They bought OJON?!?!? Guess that answers that question. NO Ojon purchase for me. I adored Ojon because they helped native groups in the areas where they harvested some of the ingredients for the products. I doubt such a corporate giant will do the same...though I may be wrong. It looks like the president who started Ojon will remain as such. But giving yet more of my hard-earned dollars to such a huge conglomerate? Oy vey.
Aw man.  |

| It was seems that when I FINALLY find something that's HG for me, EL steps in and ruins everything. First was aveda...formulas changed, prices shot up...now Ojon. They absolutely wrecked MAC too. They tried to buy Nars years ago but he slammed the door in their faces. Love Nars. They only have distribution rights for Bobbi Brown, but look at how that line has changed over the years. |
