Has anyone else noticed that toiletries - and other cleaning products - seem to have gone a little mad of late ?

My current bottle of shampoo is coconut and sweet almond flavour. That doesn't sound too irrational. My conditioner is wheatgerm and cornsilk. Now wheatgerm I've heard of - though it's filed in my head under "weird-ass health-food" - but cornsilk is something of a mystery. On Wikipedia, cornsilk redirects to maize, which sounds a lot less glamorous.

Walking to the swimming baths the other day,

zandev and I noticed an advert for washing powder containing "crushed silk and jasmine". Crushed silk ? Does that do any good, other than making the washing powder sound extra luxurious and like it will look after your clothes ? Oh, and probably putting the price up.

At the weekend, hanging out in Tesco, I observed that one can buy Lynx shower gel with "guava and volcanic rock extracts". Now which marketing executive looked at their shower gel plans and thought... it's good, but hey, wouldn't it be better if we put rocks in it ?

Accordingly, your challenge is to find the most ridiculous set of ingredients listed on the label of a toiletry or cleaning product. Post it below, and we'll put it to the vote... if possible, please include details of where you found it. We're not going to believe you about the roast marmoset and charcoal face cream unless you provide a link, a photo, or something in the way of hard evidence.
