This product showdown is slightly different, because this time I'm not trying to determine which product I already own that I will buy again. This time, I've bought two tiny sized products and will see which one I will get in full size.

First impressions

The little bottle itself smells vaguely and deliciously coconutty.

This bottle also smells sweet and good.

Effect

First, I want to extend a complaint: This conditioner is seriously slippery! It made it impossible to work the tiny little bottle and squeeze it dry. I actually had to rinse my hands and the bottle clean, then empty it carefully into my palm while avoiding getting any conditioner on the other hand. It was surprisingly awkward!

Same complaint about the slipperiness of the conditioner here! Although this time I was prepared and emptied it in one go, in the same awkward fashion as I did with the Moi Moi one.

Okay, here is something interesting: This little "sample size" conditioner has a different ingredient list than what I find on the full sized products online?
For this one, it was a lot of the same ingredients, just a different order of them.
This makes this product showdown a little odd, because I intended to buy the full sized conditioner of my favourite, but since the ingredient list for those are different, then...???

This one also has a different ingredient list than what I find on the full sized products. Odd.
Where the Moi Moi conditioner had a lot of the same ingredients just in a different order, this one was very different from the full size ingredients list I found online: The full sizes have more silicone and qauterniums, and the small size is missing featured ingredients like Tahitian Sea Water and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract. It's no loss for the defect to be missing Tahitian sea water (But... why? What benefit could this possibly have?) or sea kelp extracts, but it is a little odd to pick that out of the ingredient list.
