Holy cow how right you are! I had a review voted somewhat useful because the voter believes the lingerie is hideous and therefore ANY review of it is somewhat useful because she will never buy it. It's not worth getting upset about. One "bad" vote will NOT affect your rating and "useful" isn't a bad or down vote (jus' sayin')!

On my last review for a lube product, I checked the list of ingredients on the bottle and made sure it was the same as the list on the product info page. It was. So in the review, I said "the ingredients are exactly as they appear on the product info page". Then, since the main active ingredient was Prickly Ash, I wrote a little paragraph with some info on Prickly Ash. It isn't published yet (because it's a DR) but to me, that is sufficient information & some extra, just plain interesting information.
I used to feel that an ingredient list was essential for a review, but now I think that if I just make sure it's accurate on the product page, I can just say that. Like you, I'm not a chemist, and I don't know that much about the chemicals in cosmetics or lubes. I'll put a warning if there is something that is well known to be a possible irritant, or I'll note if something is organic or all-natural. Other than that, I say "buyer be ware". If someone has a sensitivity to something they will need to check it out for themselves.
This is one of those subjective things. I suspect if there were a poll with this thread, it would be split about 50/50. So, my advice? Just do what YOU think is enough, and be happy about it. You won't EVER get everyone to LOVE the hell out of every review you write, and that's ok. less
