Research notes

Page shows an 'On sale' label but regular price and sale price are identical ($37.50), indicating no actual active discount. The static page fetch did not surface a distinct price for the 60g size variant separate from 30g -- both appear to render the same $37.50 figure in the content retrieved, which may be a variant-selector default rather than true equal pricing.
