Where these two actually differ

- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Skin irritation from undiluted tablet contact on the Blueland and not on the Avalon Organics.
- The Avalon Organics is Glycerin, water, plant oils, lavender fragrance where the Blueland is soluble tablet, plant-based surfactants, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
