I'm not squeamish about ingredients in skin care products, but you obviously are lol

I agree - I feel bad about taking their Zonase away! I think I'd prefer to use something else.

At any rate, I'm skeptical of a product that claims to delay ageing by 20%. How on earth do they arrive at that figure?

Oh, that definitely sounds less than glamourous! I'd be interested to see what research they carried out to give them the 20% figure. I wonder if they have published results?

Let me just say that I hadn't heard of the brand, and obviously I haven't tried it or studied any documentation.

But I'm from Norway, and I say more than a little bit eww. The salmon industry is important in the Norwegian economy, but is getting more and more of a bad reputation, for environmental reasons. Things like escaping salmon (they escape from production facilities and become an ecological hazard toward the wild salmon in the sea), and the use of several drugs do prevent diseases in the salmon. What used to be regarded as "pure, natural, Norwegian fish on the dinner table", is starting to be a second rate commodity.

I get the feeling the salmon industry is looking for other markets, if you know what I mean.

Well, the 'eww' factor is here, but what I actually see is a neat packaging with an odourless cream - no sperm, no salmon hatchlings, so... I can get over it :D

Generally no, but I would be about that one. Biggest ick for me recently: false eyelashes made of real human hair.

For me, it's all about the scent and texture - so if it didn't smell fishy or feel slimy, I'd be OK with it. I might be put off by the description on the jar though - I may never get to the point where I can feel and smell it, so I'm not sure it'd ever be a big seller..

I'd also be really interested to hear how they came about that 20% figure - everybody's skin ages at different rates and through different factors. So how can it promise to delay aging in identical amounts to two different people? One might smoke 20 a day and spend their life on a sunbed - and the other drink gallons of water and always stay out of the sun. Just don't see how they can be proved.

Call it caviar or call it fish eggs; I don't like it on my plate or my face thanks. Pass.
