## Prospector Material Search Reviews
  ### 1. Great idea, dreadful system

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard B. | Founder

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2022

**What do you like best about Prospector Material Search?**

The system has a wide range of ingredients on the site and the 'request sample' function is useful.

**What do you dislike about Prospector Material Search?**

Poor customer service. Your account can be temporarily 'terminated' if you conduct too much research into ingredients - this is classed as 'hyperactivity'. Endless use of onerous CAPTCHA boxes that makes the system frustrating to use.

**What problems is Prospector Material Search solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Brings together a range of ingredient manufacturers into one site. Although many are missing.
