Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Chemical UV filter safety (specific actives unknown), Formaldehyde releasers in preservatives and Heavy metals in mineral filters (if mineral actives used) on the Anasol and not on the Derma E.
  • We flag 1,4-dioxane (non-intentional contaminant from surfactants/emulsifiers) and Fragrance allergens (if fragrance is present) on the Derma E and not on the Anasol.
  • The Anasol is Sunscreen emulsion (mineral/chemical UV filters, water, glycerin, oils) where the Derma E is Mineral sunscreen, zinc oxide base, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Derma E is the one to buy.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
