Across the skincare industry, more lawsuits are targeting misleading “natural” or “collagen” claims. These cases highlight a growing truth: consumers want transparency, honesty, and products that actually support their skin, not harm it.
1) Nivea (Beiersdorf Inc.)
In April 2025, a proposed class action claimed certain Nivea body lotions marketed as Nourish by Nature
and Naturally Good
were misleading because they contained significant synthetic ingredients.

3) Pixi
A 2024 lawsuit alleged that Pixi marketed products as containing “Collagen” when they instead used plant-based extracts that mimic collagen — not the real thing.

4) Algenist
Algenist’s “GENIUS Collagen” line was sued in late 2024 for allegedly misleading buyers by calling a plant-based ingredient “collagen,” even though no animal or human collagen was present.

5) L’Oréal
In 2021, L’Oréal faced a lawsuit over its “Collagen Moisture Filler” line. Plaintiffs argued the claims were misleading because collagen molecules are too large to penetrate the skin, so the product couldn’t deliver on promises like “restoring cushion” or “smoothing wrinkles.”

Why These Cases Matter
These lawsuits remind us that marketing claims should always match ingredient reality. Synthetic additives, petroleum fillers, and chemical stabilizers are often used to boost texture or shelf life — but they can irritate sensitive skin or cause long-term harm.
That’s exactly why Maloney Healing Remedies was created to give people a truly natural option free from the harsh chemicals, seed oils, and lab-made “actives” that dominate the skincare aisle.
