Transcript

These two shampoo bars have the same ingredients, so why do they look so different? The three differences are the shape, the color, and the white noodles. First, the shape. The shape is different because no manufacturer in The US would touch our three d shape with a 10 foot pole. So we ended up having to compromise with a cute rectangle. Second, the color. The color is different because we changed which form of white willow bark extract we were using. In version one, we were using a liquid form of this ingredient that only contains 10% salicylic acid. In version two, we yes the powdered form, which contains 25% salicylic acid. So in other words, it's the same ingredient, just different forms and much stronger. Lastly, the white noodles. Version one, we only use the powdered form of sodium coco lysithine, which is a mild surfactant derived from coconut oil, aka the thing cleaning your hair. But in version two, we use not only the powdered version, but but also the noodle version. Tier reason for this is to help make the bars last longer and to have a bit more lather. All in all, these are essentially the same bars, just version two is slightly better.
