Where these two actually differ

- We flag Paper degradation and particulate shedding on the If You Care and not on the If You Care.
- The If You Care is unbleached kraft paper, chlorine-free where the If You Care is silicone-coated parchment paper, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 40 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the If You Care is the one to buy.
