1. Confusion reigns in cosmeceutical name game
The article below highlights some of the changes facing the natural products industry, as more creative products "cross the lines" created by bureaucracy.
In a normally functioning market, the market would set product categories based on consumer desires, and thereby greater social utility would evolve, as independent actors in the market competed for consumer loyalty.
However, in a bureaucratized market, the "soft fascism" that Dr. Ron Paul so eloquently warns us against, whether, for example, your product is "ingested" or taken into the body some other way (sublingually, transdermally...) will determine whether it is a dietary supplement, even though in reality, the nutrient benefits the normal structure and function of the body no matter how it is delivered. Similarly, whether a substance is a nutrient, a cosmetic or a drug, will depend on how you sell it and what your "intent" is, not what the market wants. Such interventions tend to reduce consumer satisfaction and reduce overall social utility, thereby reducing all our prosperity.
So what do you sell?

29-Jun-2009 – “The term cosmeceutical has always been controversial, but the blurring boundaries between the worlds of nutrition and cosmetics are highlighting divisions that neither industry can ignore. Ingestible products with cosmetic benefits are an emerging product category for both the nutritional and the cosmetics industries.
“Beauty yoghurts, anti-wrinkle drinks, and skin care supplements are all part of a market expected to be worth $2.5bn by 2012, according to market research company Kline.
“However, the industries don’t seem to agree on what to call this emerging product category. For the healthy foods and supplements industry these products fall under the term cosmeceuticals, which for the cosmetics industry means something quite different.
“As these industries begin to work together to take advantage of this growing market, there is a dire need for some clear definitions.
