Counterfeit body wash, I haven't heard of that one before. How did you know it was counterfeit? The body wash or the packaging?

The legit / non-counterfeit versions of this product have the {ingredient list, usage instructions, country of origin} printed directly onto the plastic of the pump bottle -- no paper label involved.
An instance of the product that I ordered off amazon.com was received by me, with a low-quality (it flaked off in the shower...) self-adhesive paper label stuck onto to the pump bottle, with another country of origin listed.

Yeah, I suspected. Counterfeiter seem to really cheap out on the label a lot.

Not even books are safe on Amazon https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13924546
Everything else I'd rather buy from the manufacturer (and pay the full shipping cost and not Amazon Prime) or a reputable distributor (digi-key/mouser for electronics, CS Hyde for films/tapes, etc).
Counterfeit items -- and the co-mingling of items "fulfilled by Amazon" -- ruined the whole experience for me.
