Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Heavy metals in mineral pigments (lead, cadmium, chromium), Fragrance allergens and skin irritation and Bismuth oxychloride sensitivity on the Bare Minerals and not on the Urban Decay.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens (if present) on the Urban Decay and not on the Bare Minerals.
  • The gap is 35 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Bare Minerals is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Urban Decay grade, at 62% confidence against 100%, 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 →
