The luxury original: OUAI Detox Shampoo, $34

What matches: Both clarify on the same main cleanser, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, with cocamidopropyl betaine and vinegar high on the list, the apple cider vinegar both bottles name.

What it does worse: OUAI adds two milder cleansers (sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate and decyl glucoside), hydrolyzed keratin and two chelators, EDTA and EDDS, which bind the calcium and iron hard water leaves; Aveeno has no chelator, so it lifts product build-up but not mineral build-up, and it opens with colloidal oatmeal extract.
