The Bon Ami now being marketed is not the Bon Ami of old! The stuff in
cakes was made of natural volcanic ash, non-abrasive. The stuff in the
boxes is just another mixture of chemical compounds, like most of the rest.
That's the problem with proprietary stuff - the company can make a change
and not tell you. Generic items are made to a specification, so if you
read, you can be almost certain of what you are obtaining. (This happens
often with foodstuffs, when the brand name becomes "improved" possibly
changing ingredients that make it unsuitable for some people. Big problem
with me, because I am allergic to so many ingredients.) Same is true with
photographic chemical products. It's why I compound my own whenever possible.
