How we compare the lists

  • Ingredients go in descending order of weight down to 1%; below that, US rules let a brand list them in any order (21 CFR 701.3). A long identical run from the top means the same main ingredients in the same order of amount; it can't tell how much of each.
  • Names are compared with one spelling each: Aqua/Water/Eau is water, and a hyphen or a bracket doesn't make a second ingredient.
  • Brands change formulas. The lists were read on 28 September 2026; the pack in your hand is the one that counts.

Amazon prices as of Sep 28, 2026, 1:12 AM ET, subject to change: the price on Amazon at checkout is the one that applies. Retail price checked 25 September 2026.
