Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Clinique.
  • We flag Heavy metals in iron oxide pigments and Fragrance allergens and sensitization on the Clinique and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
  • The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Clinique is wax, oils, pigments in stick form, 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.

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 →
