Deception in cosmetics advertising: Examining cosmetics advertising claims in fashion magazine ads

Abstract: The FDA has only focused upon the physical safety of cosmetics and has ignored the significant reasonability of advertising claims. As such, the present article is intended to examine/ascertain the extent to which cosmetics claims contain deceptive content in fashion ads. Through a content analysis, the study reported herein revealed that cosmetics claims were not evenly distributed.

“…Schoonees, Young, & Volmink (2013) looked into the advertising of nutritional supplements in women's magazines in South Africa. Similar studies involving health supplements and cosmetics were done by Lee, Vasquez, Wong, and Shin (2015); Ethan, Basch, Berdnik & Sommervil (2016), and Fowler, Reisenwitz & Carlson (2015) in the United States. In the Malaysian context, studies involving advertising claims were done by Mohd Azmi, Aljadhey, Salem, and Khan (2012) and Mahyuddin, Juriah, Madiah, Fadhilah, and Sahida (2017), and Kaur, Arumugam and Norimah Mohamad Yunus (2013).…”

“…Examples of such claims include the prevention or cure of certain health conditions, slimming and weight loss functions (Schoonees, Young, & Volmink, 2013;Lee, Vasquez, Wong, & Shin, 2015;& Azmi, Aljadhey, Saleem, & Khan, 2012), as well as improvement of skin conditions, i.e. youthful, clearer, radiant skin (Kaur, Arumugam and Norimah, 2013;Fowler, Reisenwitz, & Carlson, 2015). In some of these products, especially herbal supplements, the claims are often made without pre-clinical lab testing and therefore raises the question of what they were based on (Mahyuddin, Juriah, Madiah, Fadhilah, & Sahida, 2017).…”

“…Por último, del plano verbal destaca el discurso científico, narrado por una voz masculina, que hace las veces de experto y describe las propiedades científicas del producto, que posee «oxígeno activo» y es «hasta quince veces más eficaz que la marca blanca y las quitará por completo». Por último, se recurre a las narrativas ganadoras o de éxito que citan Fowler et al (2015): «el mejor quitamanchas del mercado».…”

“…Todo ello se acompaña de melodías de alerta y ruidos de cronómetro que se paran cuando la aguja alcanza la hora en punto. Como puede observarse, el plano verbal se aleja en gran medi-da de la ideología proyectada en la versión española, haciendo hincapié en el discurso científico y ganador (Fowler et al, 2015). Por otro lado, el nivel semiótico apoya en gran medida el discurso científico que se pretende vender en estas versiones de la campaña.…”

“…El asterisco nos lleva a unos Hikma 18 (1) (2019), 9 -32 datos reflejados en letra pequeña sobre el volumen de ventas en el lateral interior de la página, una manera de certificar la veracidad de la información y convencer a la receptora de que no se trata simplemente de una fórmula recurrente en la publicidad para atraer su atención. De la misma forma, también están vendiendo el éxito de su producto y transmitiendo narrativas ganadoras y de privilegio, por un lado, y científicas (Fowler et al, 2015), por otro, que luego encuentran un paralelismo con el término «patentado» que va a continuación. Esta selección léxica termina de configurar un engranaje semiótico (Munday, 2004) con el texto que puede leerse perfectamente en el frasco del producto.…”
