It’s not uncommon for brands to make minor tweaks to their product formulations in order to better appeal to a contemporary audience (think of all the “new and improved,” “paraben-free,” and “alcohol-free” labels now stamped on lotions and shampoos) nor is it rare for them to update their packaging to better catch the attention of fickle customers.
