Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Skin irritation from surfactant concentration on the Aussie and not on the Aveeno.
- We flag Surfactant irritation (skin/eye contact), Fragrance allergens and Microbial contamination (post-purchase) on the Aveeno and not on the Aussie.
- The Aussie is aqueous liquid cosmetic formulation where the Aveeno is aqueous liquid shampoo (typical surfactants, conditioning agents, water), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
