Feature 1-Raised letter 'Wild Growth Co.' on bottle bottom & last runs of bottles in current use on right:

There may be some older authentic bottles without Feature 1 but they must display:

Feature 2- Metal foil liner (not foam liner) Feature 3- Clear intact alpha-numerical batch code:

In the photo just below, the foam cap seal (with sealed for your protection wording printed on it) used on the fake bottle on the right was inappropriate and not what we use. The genuine bottle on the left has the correct metal foil seal (see real one on the left).

Images, online or otherwise of containers claimed to be 'Wild Growth' in separate narratives ('Wild Growth' read in product titles, descriptions, and narratives) that blur where the product name and manufacturer/contact should be on the bottles themselves confirm that counterfeits are being listed. Beware of such listings on Alibaba (as of 08/03/24) and other sites (for example: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wild-Growth-Hair-Oil-4-oz_1601081335246.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.1a636690EjeWWP)

Clear product name/description on listing but blurred product name on bottle image:

Counterfeits and Identity Thieves (Paks Cosmetics/Beaity Logistics) in the UK.

The same 'unique' batch code shared by different bottles is the smoking gun since every bottle is unique by it's numerical production line sequence number (first set of batch code numbers).

Wild Growth® Light Oil Moisturizer bottle bottom siezed by Homeland Security from Grace Beauty Imports

Counterfeit using foam PS22 liner and no liners siezed by homeland security at Grace Beauty Imports

Confirmed fake purchased from Grace Beauty Imports Wild Growth Oil is currently 0718/24 being sold at:

Among other tell tale indicators, the seal material purchased from City Beauty is frayed foam liner (not authentic)

Darker print and logo on counterfeit on the left Lighter print and logo on authentic on the right

See the fake bottle on the right compared the real one on the left in the photos below. As opposed to the real one, the fake one was described by the experienced Wild Growth user as being watery, bubbly with a strong sulfur odor. Not our product! The fake containers printing was reported to be smudged.

Note in the two photos below, the translucency or light coming through the fake right bottle whereas the authentic bottle on the left does not let light pass through despite it being completely empty.

Comments from the purchaser who could readily tell the difference between the Beauty Depot bought fake and the real one:

Hello,

I'm writing immediately due to a clear comparison of a bad product being
sold by your company in a hair store in Meridian, MS called Beauty Depot
on 204 20th Ave. I ran out of Wild Growth hair oil and decided to pick
some up while visiting Meridian this week. I hadn't used any due to my
schedule. I returned home today to use the new bottle I purchased and
immediately noticed the following:
1. The green wording was blurry and smudged compared to my old bottle
(which I had not thrown away yet). We do not sell product in defectively printed bottles.
2. The opening was a thin easily detachable circle of paper with writing
instead of the thick covering that is attached on my old bottle. We only use heat induction seals (thick metal) for our cap liners.
3. The smell of the new product was horrible and smells like straight
Sulphur. We do not use sulfur and our products do not have a sulfur odor.
4. The product is thin like water and full of bubbles. Our product is always thicker than vegetable oil.
The product immediately needs to be removed! My child is only in the 7th
grade and without even telling her she knew the difference because she
uses the old version just like me. We are currently seeking punitive actions against Beauty Depot of Meridian MS for selling these fakes.
5. The new bottle was cheaper. (Keep in mind I bought the previous
bottle because it was actually the cheapest I could find at the time)
Whatever you all are trying please stop. You only have two products and
that's where company's think the customers are naive or just dumb. Many
of us come from a family of beauticians, we are beauticians, or we
simply just know the old product. We are currently seeking punitive actions against Beauty Depot of Meridian MS for selling these fakes.
Nothing should have been changed. If it has become costly to make the
original formulas it would be better to pull the product OR list the new
ingredients accurately especially when the change could potentially
become harmful or cause adverse results. We are currently seeking punitive actions against Beauty Depot of Meridian MS for selling these fakes.
Yes, I have photos.

Disappointed,
T.

If any purchaser notes the same product and container characteristics in their purchase described above, please contact wildgro@wildgrowth.com to report who their supplier was. We, as the manufacturer, offer to compensate receivers of confirmed fakes if the buyer provides photos and samples as proof and the selling vendor name, address, and phone number.

As a matter of fact, no good or bad knock off artist would try to raise suspicion on himself by changing the ingredients. That rumor demonstrated no intelligence, but has been effective in generating much negative gossip in the community. The real reasons for Wild Growth® hair oil igredients discrepancy are stated below:

The rumors of fakes started when Wild Growth changed the ingredients list from the results of nutrient extraction to the raw materials from which the extraction occurs. So, despite Wild Growth explaining this discrepancy between the old and new bottles, the rumors have persisted over years. Also, Wild Growth Co. has not used jojoba oil for the last 35 years. As an oversight, Jojoba Oil was left on the list till recently. Therefore there are many genuine bottles for sale that still list Jojoba oil. You will less likely find even older bottles that listed the end products of ingredients extraction such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron etc.) Also, at one point, the list included 'Wild Growth® Nutrient Complex'. FDA did not like that as the phrase was not a recognized ingredient. So we changed it to what FDA did approve: 'and other ingredients' But then, when exporting to the UK, Customs did not like 'and other ingredients' so we remove that too. Any bottles that you come across with any of those list items are legitimate. Ingredients discrepancies are not a good reason to suspect fakes. As a matter of fact, no good or bad knock off artist would try to raise suspicion on himself by changing the ingredients. That rumor revealed no intelligence, but has been effective in generating much negative gossip in the community.

Regarding Wild Growth® Nutrient Complex, The nutrient extraction process is critical to what makes Wild Growth® Oils what they are. Wild Growth Co is not a manufacturer that only reads about ingredients and what they are known to do or reads the ingredients lists on popular products and directly incorporates them in their products. Wild Growth® has a superior approach in testing various extraction methods using twelve proprietary Wild Growth® paired enhancement and moderation steps applied to various ingredients to produce unequaled results! As a result, a unique discovery was made in 1985 and has been implemented and guarded through today.

Thank you so much for your response . Do you happen to have a list of the ingredients that I should be looking for. I think I would like to purchase from you directly. I was going to purchase from Amazon but then I had saw mostly good reviews but a couple people thought they had purchased a fake bottle and said that their head was burning, I saw this bottle sold on Amazon and I thought it looked different. Also when I tried to go to the www.wildgrowthcompany.com that was displayed on the bottle. The website didn’t exist. So it made me skeptical. Below is a picture of the product on Amazon .

Our latest list does not have Jojoba oil. The ones prior do show Jojoba Oil which we forgot to remove. Wild Growth has not used Jojoba Oil for the last 35 years. But there are many genuine bottles for sale that still list Jojoba oil. Therefore, the images below should be of the real product. You will less likely find even older bottles that listed the end products of ingredients extraction such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron etc.) Also, at one point, the list included 'Wild Growth® Nutrient Complex'. FDA did not like that as the phrase was not a recognized ingredient.

Regarding 'Wild Growth® Nutrient Complex', If you follow this link, https://www.wildgrowth.com/Wild%20Growth%C2%AE%20oil%20nutrient%20complex.htm

The nutrient extraction process is critical to what makes Wild Growth® Oils what they are. There are many companies that read about ingredients and what they are known to do or read the ingredients lists on popular products and use them in their products. Wild Growth® has a superior approach in testing various extraction methods applied to various ingredients to produce real results!

Wildgrowthcompany.com is no longer being hosted by any site but will soon be re-directed to www.wildgrowth.com

www.wildgrowth.com may look 'bootleg' but offers it credentials: It's trade names and trade marks, it addresses connecting the bottle addresses with the addresses used in filing trade name and marks, and in domain registrations. Nevertheless, all the websites that sell Wild Growth are legitimate. Some may display older bottles but carry the lastest (with no Jojoba oil). Others, still have the 'jojoba oil' bottles in stock which are the exact same formula.

A new bottle version of Wild Growth Hair Oil will replace any previous version and is expected to dominate in numbers over the previous versions still in circulation by March 2024.

Product demand has exceeded our original bottle supplier output capability. We are now circulating both original tall/narrow versions of Wild Growth® Hair Oil and new short/wider versions from another supplier. See side by side photos below:

Fronts of tall/narrow and short/wide versions Backs of tall/narrow and short/wide versions

This bottle bottom version below which is currently being produced and distributed will phase out the other genuine versions with different bottle bottoms.

04/13/20 Notice

Not one confirmed fake was ever sold on Amazon or any online store. Back in 2017, we made repeated changes in the ingredients list to actually be more accurate and, thus, less misleading about what actually goes into our products. Basically, what we listed before were the extract 'catch names' which were misleading because when those names were plugged into the official list of International Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI), dangerous chemicals would pull up under those names such as magnesium, iron, phosphorous which , in their pure chemical state are hazardous and only have industrial applications. In truth, these elements as we listed them were hypothetical biologically available elements that are naturally bound in complex molecules that are completely safe to use. So, in stages we decided to list the sources of the extracts instead, first replace the phrase Wild Growth Nutrient complex which is not an identifiable ingredient with 'and other ingredients' as per FDA protocol. Then when International markets had problems with 'and other ingredients', we removed that. All these changes and other incidental ones (the phone number was changed by error during a revision) back in 2017 caused an uproar and these misinformed suspicions (Including the 'ring leader' Amazon 2017 Top Review, "Hopes shot down, which to this day is the first review one sees) have been discredited by Wild Growth as well as other reviews who have gotten great results then and since from their Amazon purchase). After January 2018 the ingredients list has not changed to this date. Only one confirmed fake has been discovered sold by a few brick and mortar stores (we have identified 4) which does have the correct/updated ingredients list but has a molded-in triangle on the bottom of the plastic bottle to flush it out from the real ones. This fake is not a real threat because it never took significant hold in the market but should still be looked out for.

Amazon is our top seller and should remove any top review which , while getting people excited, is not based on truth. It is strange that when a rumor is put out, no one goes to the source, www.wildgrowth.com (on the back of the bottle), to clear the air but would rather entertain themselves by feeding a conspiracy theory rooted in fiction whose fire Amazon chooses to fan to generate negative popular interest to encourage new visitors to their site so that they may either buy the villain, Wild Growth Oils, or a list of convenient alternatives on the same page- a game of 'dirty pool'. For more details as to how the 'fake' fable came about, visit https://www.wildgrowth.com/Quality%20Assurance%20and%20Authenticity.htm.

A certified Wild Growth Hair Oil fake has been found at brick and mortar outlets. If the bottom of the bottle looks like below, it is fake:

Wild Growth Co. Certified Fake bottle bottle bottom manufactured by Tri-Delta with triangle logo HDPE designation

04/13/20 ALERT :This is the first of probably several more stores that we have confirmed are selling fake Wild Growth Bottles :

If the bottle has a big sticker blocking the address and contact info for wild growth that is most likely a fake. Also if the price is below $4.40 a bottle that is also a big red flag that it is a fake bottle. Bottom line of fake determination is the bottom of the bottle which serves as a telling fingerprint:

Please note that www.buyhairoils.com and other websites do imply that Wild Growth® product direct and unqualified hair growth claims at www.buyhairoils.com and other websites (such as 'promotes thick, long hair growth', 'accelerate hair growth', 'strengthens follicles', or 'Wild Growth - The brand that changed the hair growth game one inch of growth at a time! are provided by the manufacturer, Wild Growth Co..(https://www.buyhairoils.com/pages/disclaimer), which is not true. Neither are the ingredients list and the ingredients' purposes stated at www.buyhairoils.com and other websites provided by the manufacturer, Wild Growth Co..

Past warning against fake website pretending to be genuine founding Wild Growth Co. website:

Alert for '☻wildgrowthhairoil.com'☻. This site can only mask its fraud by not displaying contact information that is on the back of Wild Growth Co. product bottles and contact information registered with the USPTO. ☻wildgrowthhairoil.com☻ falsely claims to be the manufacturer of Wild Growth® Oils and does not use the ® symbol since if it is searched at the US Patent and trade mark office, The real name of the manufacturer, Wild Growth Co., an Arizona Corporation will pull up (see Wild Growth Company Hair Oil Products Manufacturer, Formulator, Founder, Originator and Seller Credentials ). The web site displays no email, facility address or P.O. Box to connect to, purposely omits photos of the back of the bottle displaying Wild Growth Co. , P.O. Box 14822, Scottsdale, AZ 85267, www.wildgrowth.com and wildgro@wildgrowth.com and claims to be doing business 'throughout the years.' as they lifted Wild Growth History from the Wild Growth Co. website (Wild Growth® Established 1985) 'going back to 1985' while their false copyright on www.ildgrowthhairoil.com is dated 2023. The claimed copyright is both illegal and impossible since the Registered Trade Name (along with the mark

) Wild Growth® has been awarded to Wild Growth Co. in the 1990's. With the trade name already awarded, a request for a copyright at the USPTO containing the phrase 'Wild Growth' would be rejected.

Along with plagiarising much information and before and after photos from www.wildgrowth.com, ☻www.wildgrowthhair oil.com☻ calls itself The hair growth Co.' and makes other direct unqualified hair growth claims not made by Wild Growth Co. at www.wildgrowth.com or elsewhere, commits identity theft by falsely claiming it is the manufacturer offering no credentials and hides information linking to Wild Growth Co. (by comparison see Wild Growth Co.Manufacturing Credentials) But it must show 'props' to gain trust. So it displays a phone number at the end of the shopping process (We cannot display it as someone calling it may be subject to fraud exposure) which is a confirmed 'scammer' phone used by multiple fraudulent websites for different products that have drawn complaints ranging from partial order shipped to no product shipped with no responses from these sites to remedy the issue. This phone is the 'empty mascot' used by this ring of fraudulent websites including ☻www.wildgrowthhair oil.com☻ and is displayed as a fake contact for gaining trust.

Search engine (google) results for Wild Growth® Oils are hijacked to ☻www.wildgrowthhair oil.com☻ Calling itself 'The Hair Growth Company' in the link name as a prop to gain confidence in believing that this site is the true Wild Growth® Hair Oils site, feeding off of Wild Growth® Hair Oil's reputation spurred by user results reported over the years (see Wild Growth Co.' position on 'hair growth'). Google inquirers of Wild Growth® Hair Oils also see ☻www.wildgrowthhair oil.com☻ links displaying the term, 'Wholesaler' to reinforce the notion that they are the the manufacturer who is capable of selling wholesale quantities (Please contact wildgro@wildgrowth.com for best quantity based discounts), but when following the links on the web site, they drill down to a page that states that 'wholesale purchasing is currently not available'. Another 'trust' prop.

The entity below has been receiving money for orders and never sending product.

If an order is placed, there is a high likelihood that the product will be counterfeit (Beauty Connection of Uganda has not ordered since 2018), and a 100 % likelihood that you will neither receive product or money back, regardless of lengthy drawn out excuses over months and years.
