Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and Oil oxidation and rancidity on the Weleda and not on the Youth To The People.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components, 1,4-dioxane as synthetic byproduct and Microbial growth in multi-use container on the Youth To The People and not on the Weleda.
- The Weleda is Plant oils, butters, waxes where the Youth To The People is water, glycerin, vitamin C, caffeine in serum base, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
