Chemists and Formulators, Please Explain These Product Ingredients

[Loren Egland]

I currently have these products that I have identified as Product Old A, New A, B, C, D. These are the list of ingredients on the labels. Any insight as to differences or similarities and their properties? Are some of these terms simply other names for the same thing? Thanks.

Loren

Perhaps I should have mentioned that all these products are powders.

I understand the lack of response due to the time consuming nature of answering. I myself have been sitting on this for months due to the fact I have had other things to do.

But I am still hopeful that someone knowledgeable will find some time to enlighten me.

I wish there was an edit button on this board! I keep making mistakes typing.
