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 Carol's Daughter.
  • We flag Preservative system integrity and bacterial growth, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Scalp irritation from emulsifier or surfactant residue on the Carol's Daughter and not on the Avalon Organics.
  • The Avalon Organics is Water, conditioning agents, organic plant extracts where the Carol's Daughter is leave-in hair cream (emulsified oils, butters, water-based), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
