Why was my product discontinued?
Products are sometimes discontinued due to the availability of certain ingredients. Sometimes these products will eventually be replaced by new and improved formulation, and the decision to discontinue an item is never done impulsively. Many different factors are taken into account, including consumer preferences and purchasing patterns, as well as the availability of new ingredients and more advanced formulations. Even some of Paula's personal favourites have been discontinued!
We do realise that customers may want to stock up if their favourites are being discontinued, so we generally make discontinued products available at up to 50% off retail (with no limits on the number you can purchase) on each product page for as long as they are in stock. In our efforts to continually improve the line and respond to customer feedback, you will see that new products, some of which may be variations on your favourites, are introduced on an ongoing basis.
Here is a list of discontinued products from the past two years as well as a suggested replacement, when available:
