Where these two actually differ
- We flag Formaldehyde releasers (preservatives), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Contact dermatitis from surfactants or botanical extracts on the Aveeno and not on the Dr. Bronner's.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (peppermint essential oil) and Eye and mucous membrane irritation on the Dr. Bronner's and not on the Aveeno.
- The Aveeno is water, glycerin, surfactants, moisturizers where the Dr. Bronner's is Saponified plant oils, peppermint essential oil, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
