    GAIA Natural Baby Skin Soothing Lotion - New product - smaller and cheaper

    Note that the information in this post is incorrect. The 100ml product is listed as a new product on Gaia's website at a lower price than the 250ml bottles.

    We've been fans of this company and their products for the past two years. I've recommended their products to all I meet and have purchased loyally this entire time, even when their products went up by $2 in a very short period of time... until today!

    I went to buy some Gaia Natural Baby Skin Soothing Lotion and discovered that they've changed the packaging. No worries, until I read the label. They have now changed the amount in the pack from 250ml to 100ml. Less than half!!! And they haven't lowered the price!!!

    I thought, maybe they've just forgotten to change over the tag on the shelf to the new pricing, so I came home and checked their website. Nope! There is a whole heap of rubbish about how wonderful the new package is, but nothing about how they're robbing us blind by charging the same price for less then half the amount of product.

    I'm sorry, but that's just greedy in my opinion and far too hard to swollow. I'll be voting with my $$$ and will no longer by ANY of their products unless the price is brought inline with the new sizing.

    NOT HAPPY!!!!

    Really?!?! That's rude!! I love Gaia products too.... hmmm might have to re-think buying them again if they are going to do that.... what about the bath and body wash? We use that more than anything in that range.....
