Basically, almost all hotel toiletries are cheaply made, using mostly synthetic ingredients. The name brands just license their brands to companies that make toiletries for hospitality use (and there are only a handful), and the formulations are almost nothing like what you’d find in retail. (One exception I’ve found is Aveda.)
Some of the companies that make the products you’ll see in mainstream hotel chains:
