First of all the make-up that is sold as Wolfe FX and Diamond FX is all manufactured in China by a company called Lucky Art. Lucky Art makes face paint and painting crayons and lord knows what else. They sell many items under their own brand name LUCKY ART throughout Asia and some in Australia at one time.
They sell the face paint and other items that the make to ANYONE who wants to buy them wholesale. Therefore both Wolfe FX and Diamond FX are coming from the same plant, packaged by the same equipment and probably, I assume, made with exactly the same ingredients... the approvals of the FDA and any other organizations are the resposibility of the retailers in their jurisdictions... therefore Wolfe would have to submit to the FDA to get it cleared by them, and Diamond FX if based in the Netherlands would have to submit to the EU, etc.etc. etc. Rules in the USA and Europe, and in Canada, for that matter, are different so items approved in one area may not be in another - it does not mean they are not safe, it means that the regulations differ (for example, in the UK they do not have blue smarties like we do in Canada because of something called an E-Number... so I send my friend Anne care packages of blue smarties!!) This product is not proprietary to Wolfe or Diamond or anyone else selling it. The manufacturer in CHINA, Lucky Art, is the one who owns it and sells it to anyone who wants to re-sell it. As I have said, repeatedly, I have both and I see absolutely no difference in the product. And I will continue to purchase whichever is convenient and less expensive for me to acquire. What the companies are doing business wise and who is their front man or men makes no difference to me.
