- We flag Heavy metals in synthetic pigments, Fragrance allergens and irritants, Bacterial overgrowth in tube or brush over time and Formaldehyde releasers in preservative systems on the Estée Lauder and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Estée Lauder is Wax, oils, silicones, pigments (typical lip gloss), 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.
