Unfortunately, not once in the past 40 years has Nestle given me any reason to stop my boycott.

(63,221 posts)since the pandemic, I haven't used much makeup and I can easily switch products - Done! Also, the others I only buy on occasion and can do without them too. Easy to switch.
Other than that, there is nothing else I use. Very disappointed in Kiehl's though. They were once a very respected NYC brand. Poland Spring too.
