The juggernaut that is the natural beauty industry is beginning to show its cracks.
本周早些时候，由于霉菌污染，丝芙兰Herbivore Botanicals被召回。负责加拿大全国公共卫生的加拿大卫生部向消费者发出警告，要求他们立即停止使用Herbivore Botanicals的粉色云保湿霜(售价48美元)。
Earlier this week, a recall was issued for Herbivore Botanicals at Sephora due to mold contamination. Health Canada, the department responsible for Canadians’ national public health, issued a warning for consumers to immediately stop using Herbivore Botanicals’ Pink Cloud Moisture Cream ($48).
这个最畅销的天然护肤品品牌以不使用化学药品和合成防腐剂为傲。
The best-selling natural skincare brand prides itself on shunning chemicals and synthetic preservatives.
但据最近购买了这款深受喜爱的面霜的消费者说，Herbivore曾有过产品质量不过关的历史。
But according to consumers who recently bought the cult-favorite cream, Herbivore has a history of failing to ensure the quality of its inventory.

在Reddit上，购物者迅速分享了他们对这个大热品牌的失望，他们指出，该品牌的产品气味难闻，质地粗糙，像酸奶。

采购新鲜的植物成分很昂贵，而且这些成分不可能像含有化学物质的竞争产品那样持久。合成原料比天然原料处理起来更快、更便宜。更长的货架期使得大型零售商可以批量购买，而不用担心保质期。
Sourcing fresh botanical ingredients can be expensive, and such ingredients can’t last as long as chemical-laden competitors. Synthetic ingredients can be made much faster and more cheaply than natural sourcing. The longer shelf life allows big-box retailers to buy in bulk without worrying about expiration dates.
