Why did RenPure shampoo change it's formula? Any suggestions for a replacement shampoo?

I've been using RenPure shampoo and conditioner for about the past 4 years now. I bought the first bottle on a whim when they were on sale at Kroger for under $8 a bottle. I like that it's paragen free along with a whole lotta other stuff. The old formula truly cleaned my hair, lathered nicely, and had a distinct smell that reminded me of mystery airhead (which I quite enjoyed!).

But NOW! The new formula doesn't have that pleasant smell (it doesn't smell bad either), it's more difficult to lather, and seems like I need to use twice as much to get a good clean.

The specific one I love is "Coconut cream and Vitamin E." They've since stopped making that one I believe and now make a "Coconut and Vitamin E." The new, non-cream version just sucks. Can anyone tell me why?

Top five ingredients of the old formula: Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betine*, Sodium Chloride, Cocamide MIPA*

*plant-based ingredients

Top five ingredients of the new formula: Water, Cocamidpropyl Hydrooxysultaine*, Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate*, Lauryl Glucoside*, Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate

So, any suggestions for a new shampoo?
