Ingredients move back and forth between lots all the time! I would trust the last-mile seller to be more correct than the manufacturer website!

Check on https://www.cosdna.com/ a distributed effort to document what is being sold where at different times.

If you look that site, any big brand (and neutrogena, which is just a front for J&J today, is the biggest you can get) will show dozens of variations for each product. All around the same geographic region and time frame.


beware with La Roche-Posay line! Well, most mega corp cosmetic chem corps have this exact same problem.

They use the exact same brand/package design/names for completely different products, depending on where you are.

For example, USA you get "Anthelios 60 Mineral", with 8% Ti dioxide and 6% zinc ox. In the EU you get 6% Ti diox and 12% zinc ox. In south america you get Oxybenzene and no minerals :shrug

Now, guess which one you will end up getting on the cheaper listings on amazon even in the USA.
