Ok gotcha. I just took some pics of the tubs showing the different formulas.
This is the original formula below that I had from the beginning (32oz Clear w/Green lid)

This is the 32oz blue I just bought (green is the same) - Same as original clear formula. Some of the blues also listed the new formulas so I had to pick to find these.

This is one of the new clear 8oz formulas that I bought before I realized the formulas changed. I didn't even notice that it said Benzoyl Alcohol and MethoxyCinnamidopropyl. I was wondering why my hair didn't feel the same.

Now this is where I got confused. I found this new clear jar below recently (the second new formula) that DIDN'T say Benzoyl Alcohol so I thought yay, it must be close to the original formula. But it wasn't and made my hair ashy, dry and crunchy and it didn't re-activate when wet like the original. That Methoxy Cinnamidopropyl ingredient is new and the other ingredients order is a little off too. Most of the ones I've been seeing have these ingredients.

@PJaye and others interested
So I finally tried that Got 2B Glued
I think we have a winner. I tell you no lie but I just washed my bun out from Easter (two week wash rotation) and while the slickage had started to let up I think I could’ve reactivated with water if need be.
I’ve been rained on, gone to the gym (with a scarf), plus normal wear and tear so I’m like
The product description says it’s water proof and doesn’t move until shampooed out; I agree
I haven’t started using this because as I was reading my hopes were getting dashed with the new formula. However, I think the blue one has the original ingredients, based on what’s posted in here. HTHI'm glad to finally see this. I wondered what was up with my gel and now I know. My hair laughs at this new formula after day 2. I can't refresh it and feel as though I need to clarify then start from scratch after only a day. I need to spend the weekend hitting up local stories to see if I can find the old formula.
