Today I was showering and I was using renpure biotin and collagen shampoo and conditioner. I've used this brand before, never any weird smells or anything. This was a new bottle of shampoo I bought a few days ago. My conditioner of it (got a few months ago) smells normal. My shampoo smelled weird though. It had it's usual scent, but it was accompanied by a strange smell that I can't exactly describe, kinda like gas? All I know is that it never smelled like that before.

This has also happened with my body wash. I use shea moisture calm and clearing. First time I bought it, smelled good, like dark chocolate and caramel. Got a new bottle some days ago, smells spicy for some reason.

Is this a case of getting a bad batch or are companies having to replace ingredients due to inflation? I used it and so far my hair feels fine and nothing has happened to my skin either.

I mentioned this before, but I was gonna finally be able to get the body wash I wanted yesterday. My grandma looked for it at the outlet mall it was at (the original is really expensive and it was discounted here), said she couldn't find it. I guess she thought it was a different brand because it was still there. I told her what kind it was and where it should be, so idk how else she would've missed it.

I was gonna get it yesterday and I was so excited but then I see she already bought ones I wasn't talking about. I'm not sure why she bought 2 since they are almost 20$ combined and less than half of the size of the one at the outlet mall, and there's only 1 left there so now I probably won't ever get the chance to try the one I wanted to try. I tried to talk to my dad about it to no avail, so I just feel selfish. I wish I could've gone so maybe I could've shown her to clear up confusions, but now there's no way I can get the one I wanted. I have no reason to. I hate being upset over little things.
