Original GoJo?

I hadn't been able to find the original GoJo hand cleaner for a while. I used to stock up at Spring and Fall Carlisle Car Shows and then the vendor I bought it from stopped having it and instead had a citrus version or whatever. After not finding it at the shows, I'd more or less given up.

To be clear, I'm talking about the stuff that was a yellowish color. If you left it sit too long, it would separate into what I believed was lanolin and kerosene. It smelled a little funky, but really cut through the grease.

I recently saw GoJo on Amazon that says "Original Formula". Does any one know, is this the original, original formula I was talking about above?

I just googled GoJo original hand cleaner which brings up the official website to answer any questions as well as many resellers to purchase from.

I recently had to replace a jug of Gojo after several years of reliable use. I admit that jug lasted a decade and was effectively cleaning my hands for two years past the expiry date. Replaced with Gojo “Natural Orange” via Amazon. It works fine. However, it does not state original formula anywhere and it does not seem to clean as efficiently (need more pumps/clean). This Gojo has a lower viscosity and “granularity” (that good liquid pumice like texture, I mean). Also smells different, not better or worse but different. Anyways it cleans if I use four pumps so whatever. Looks like this...

GO-JO also is owns Purell - so they've been kind of busy the last 150 + days.
Be patient, they will be back.

I just noticed that the label says "contains no solvents", so I expect that the current "Original Formula" is not as original as it originally was.
