Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Heavy metals in plant-derived ingredients, Fragrance allergen or undisclosed sensitizers and Silicone or plastic microparticle buildup on hair on the Avalon Organics and not on the Bumble and bumble.
  • We flag Preservative contact sensitivity, Fragrance allergens and Silicone buildup on scalp on the Bumble and bumble and not on the Avalon Organics.
  • The Avalon Organics is Water, conditioning agents, organic plant extracts where the Bumble and bumble is Water-based conditioner; emollients, proteins, silicones, preservatives, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
