Surely the bbc should not have her on this show. She runs an mlm company, they have done documentaries on the past about the dangers of mlms/ direct selling.

Susie always protests that Tropic is not like those others…
to be fair the Talented Ladies blog did an article on her and the business structure and it did come across as more favourable to the sellers.
i still agree with you though.

I agree op
My neighbour does tropic and has a downline of women beneath her that she's recruited and constantly posts about her business, and the holidays she goes on. Blah blah.

I just laugh at her
It's not her business, she just selling overpriced skin care to rich mums.
Without her coercing other mums to buy from her and sell to others, she would make no money at all.

She made my blood boil the other week as she was giving 'free' hand massages to old ladies in a care home
Just happened to have business cards, leaflets and an order book with her.

Then it's the we can't sell in a shop because it's freshly made lie
Lush can, and the body shop. And numerous other brands, but surprisingly tropic cant

That’s disgraceful behaviour. The care home should not be allowing that.
