Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Heavy metals in pigments (lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic), Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Formaldehyde releasers (preservatives) and 1,4-dioxane as production trace contaminant on the Anastasia Beverly Hills and not on the L'Oréal.
  • We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens (unlisted components) and Microbial growth if stored improperly on the L'Oréal and not on the Anastasia Beverly Hills.
  • The Anastasia Beverly Hills is Pigments, waxes, oils, polymers in cosmetic formulations where the L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
  • We are less certain about the Anastasia Beverly Hills grade, at 45% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.

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 →
