Companies justify high price tags by claiming that they use rare ingredients. A rocket scientist invented Estee Lauder's La Mer, by fomenting mineral water and sea kelp. 对于产品高昂的价格，公司的解释是其中使用了稀有的成分。一位火箭专家发明的雅诗兰黛眼霜海洋拉娜是通过加热矿泉水和海藻提取的。

We get asked why it costs 165 dollars for a two-ounce jar of cream. They want to know why it's so expensive. And the answer would be because it's still a hand-made product. Takes 3 to 4 months to process the ingredients that go in to make the cream. 我们经常会问为什么一瓶两盎司的面霜卖165美元。他们想知道用什么证明其昂贵的合理性。答案就是它仍旧是手工制作。面霜成分的处理和制作工艺必须花上3至4个月。

Kristen Petrovich, co-founder of newcomer Sjal skin care, says rather than spending money on advertising, her company funnels revenue into buying up some of the world's rarest ingredients, accounting for the cream's 195-dollar price tag. 克里斯蒂·佩特维奇是新品牌SJAL 面霜的创始人之一。她说，与做广告相比，他们宁愿花大钱购买世界上各种稀有原料，她的产品也理直气壮的卖到195美元一瓶。

We use between 45 to 50 active ingredients per product. We source from around the world, often times there ily one place in the world where we'll get our ingredients. Absolutely, all of our money pretty much goes into the cream. If the cream doesn't work, it doesn't matter how great the packaging looks. 每一种产品我们都使用45至50种活性成分，我们的原料来自全球，有时一种成分世界上只有一个地方才有。我们所有的钱绝对都是放在护肤霜上。如果护肤霜不管用，把它包装得再漂亮也没用。

It's attracted consumers in seven countries, and its top-selling nighttime nourishing oil sells for 125 dollars. So while the uncertain economy has consumers sacrificing in certain areas, that's not the case when it comes to saving face. 由名模克里斯蒂·特林顿参股的SUNDARI 护肤品，它融合了印度哲学的神秘色彩。它吸引了7个国家的顾客，卖得最好的是晚霜，价格为125美元。因此，当经济不景气时消费者可能在某些方面舍不得花钱，但在面子问题上就不一样了。
