Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components and Mechanical irritation from crystal size and shape on the Credo Beauty and not on the Mielle Organics.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, Preservative sensitivity or contact irritation and 1,4-dioxane contamination from ethoxylated ingredients on the Mielle Organics and not on the Credo Beauty.
  • The Credo Beauty is salt crystals, mineral-based scrub where the Mielle Organics is Aqueous shampoo base, plant-derived actives, standard emulsifiers, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Credo Beauty is the one to buy.
