Cosmetics get re-formulated from time to time, mostly because of user wishes, eliminating parabens, and the current trend by D. R. Harris and Cyril Salter away from palm oil and back to tallow in their current hard soaps. Most of the time these don’t IME really make much difference except in internet lore. None of these companies are going to introduce an inferior version of their products unless there’s regulation involved, and they have the ability to test their products well. The idea that they intentionally released an inferior version of their own accord seems unlikely.
