Where these two actually differ
- We flag 1,4-dioxane (manufacturing contaminant), Fragrance allergens and sensitivizers, Formaldehyde releasers (preservative byproducts) and Microbial growth (if contaminated or stored improperly) on the Aussie and not on the Credo Beauty.
- We flag Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components and Mechanical irritation from crystal size and shape on the Credo Beauty and not on the Aussie.
- The Aussie is aqueous shampoo base, surfactants, botanical extracts where the Credo Beauty is salt crystals, mineral-based scrub, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Credo Beauty is the one to buy.
