Where these two actually differ

- We flag Fragrance allergens (flavoring compounds) and Mineral oil purity and refining on the Lip Smacker and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Lip Smacker is wax blend, oils, 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.
