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 Fragrance allergens 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 aqueous conditioner (surfactants, humectants, emollients), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
