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 Mielle Organics.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and botanical sensitizers and Plastic bottle leachates (BPA, BPS, phthalates) on the Mielle Organics and not on the Avalon Organics.
  • The Avalon Organics is Water, conditioning agents, organic plant extracts where the Mielle Organics is aqueous shampoo and conditioner liquids in plastic bottle, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
