Where these two actually differ
- We flag Volatile organic compound (VOC) inhalation from propellants and Propellant pressure hazard from heat exposure on the Moroccanoil and not on the Moroccanoil.
- We flag Fragrance allergens / undisclosed fragrance components, Silicone buildup on hair over time, Inhalation exposure from spray format and Preservative sensitivity (paraben or alt. preservative not itemized) on the Moroccanoil and not on the Moroccanoil.
- The Moroccanoil is aerosol hairspray with hydrocarbons and resins where the Moroccanoil is argan oil, silicones, water-based spray emulsion, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Moroccanoil grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
