Well the problem specifically in this case, is that the ingredients stated they included aloe vera while they chemical analysis says that they don't. So you can't even trust the "Drug Facts"


It isn't clear that any of those products have an actual Drug Facts label.(an example label [1]) The CVS product listed in the article definitely does not[2]. If it doesn't have a label like this, it is likely not regulated by the FDA and therefor quite a bit more likely to be nonsense. Having ingredient lists not on the Drug Facts label doesn't count.
