Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was about two make a whole lecture about percentage points but it just so happens it actually is ~6% less in this case.

Clearly they've added unnatural meat to the formula! Ew!

Welp, looks like I won't be licking your hair anytime soon you monster.

I save my ear wax and just reuse that for hair paste. You need one of the gyroscope cleaners though to get enough wax.

I think you might have gotten old stock when you bought a 'new' tin. When I look on their website, it only has the vegan formulation listed, and the ingredients do appear to be derived from non-animal sources.

My bet is on beeswax for the non-vegan ingredient.

You would be right. I have the same packs. I don't know if I bought old stock, but I bought the pack with the blue lid recently, the black lid pack is older.

The black lid pack contains bee wax and more water than the blue lid pack (64% vs 57% of the natural ingredients).

Probably this and a synthetic emulsifier/surfactant or the like.

That would be vegan though

It depends. Many vegans see any product that "exploits" animals as nonvegan. That includes things like down feathers, wool and honey.

Not a natural ingredient though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Okay, but Ephera's comment was about the (non-)vegan ingredients.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

And beeswax is an animal product.
