Tabac Reformulation ... again!

[pjgh]

No surprise since Tabac's 2021 formulation contained Pentesodium Pentetate and as expected, the new formulation is ... well, for all intents and purposes the same. Palm Kernel Acid, Sodium Palm Kernelate & Potassium Palm Kernelate are probably a welcome addition to give some of that palm creaminess that the British triple-milled enjoy.

2021
Potassium Stearate, Sodium Stearate, Potassium Laurate, Sodium Laurate, Glycerin, Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Lauric Acid, Limonene, Linalool, Hydroxycitronellal, CI 77891, Isoeugenol, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Citronellol, Coumarin, Benzyl Alcohol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Geraniol, Benzyl Salicylate, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Citral, Eugenol

2024
Potassium Stearate, Sodium Stearate, Potassium Laurate, Sodium Laurate, Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Palm Kernel Acid, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Potassium Palm Kernelate, Limonene, Hydroxycitronellal, CI 77891, Linalool, Citronellol, Coumarin, Alpha-Isomethyl-ionone, Benzyl Salicylate, Geraniol, Cinnamyl Alcohol, Isoeugenol, Benzyl Alcohol, Citral, Eugenol, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate

Fans of Speick now have a sneak preview of how their soap ingredients will read from now on since the existing formulation pretty much follows Tabac (2021).

Less glycerin and they have removed the lauric acid with the addition of the palm products highlighted above.

Yeah, that addition of PKA/SPK/PPK although listed after the parfum (so, really quite minimal) must bring something to the party. Having looked at literally hundreds of formulations over the past few weeks, seeing this trio feels quite welcome. The placement of glycerin now after the water ingredient is maybe moot - after all, these are milled hard soaps so the water is extruded afterwards. To that end, perhaps it's "more water" rather than "less glycerin"? ... or both.

Am I reading this right? This is a new formulation after the new formulation without the tallow?

Yes, like the same with MWF. I think with a few of them (also Speick) they have taken one Pentasodium Pentetate due to EU regulations and added a few different preservatives and a few other things.

That's correct.

I’d like to hope that they’ve listened to feedback and improved the new formula significantly, but the changes do seem disappointingly minimal, so positive impact on performance is likely to be minimal.

Amazon had the stick for $9, so I tossed one in the cart. I'll check the ingredients when it arrives.
