Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Clarins.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, Contaminants in botanical oils (pesticide residues, heavy metals), 1,4-dioxane from ethoxylated ingredients and Beeswax and lanolin allergenicity on the Clarins and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
  • The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Clarins is oils and waxes (typical cosmetic base), 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.
