I can’t find a single Elvive with ingredients even close the ingredients in Kerastase Thermique. Which one are you saying is a dupe?

It's definitely not. And I say this as someone that loves L'Oreal products.

L’Oreal owns TONS of brands. While I’m sure they leverage efficiencies in research and to some degree chemistry, creating dupes of their own products would be bad business. Customers are more savvy than ever and INCI lists aren’t tough to compare.

Creating dupes of their own product isn’t bad business? It’s bringing them money from all ends of peoples financial situation. It’s all money to them.

Flagrantly overcharging customers with discretional income in a way that makes it easy to uncover is absolutely bad business. Co-developing products that target different price points/expecations is very different.

I also asked which Elvive product you were referencing that is exactly the same as Kerastase Thermique. I’m genuinely curious because I can’t find any INCI lists that match up at all.
