Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the MAC.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens (unspecified composition), 1,4-dioxane contamination (manufacturing byproduct), Silicone accumulation on lip barrier and Bacterial growth in applicator wand (user-storage dependent) on the MAC and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
  • The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the MAC is liquid cosmetic gloss (oil/wax/silicone 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.

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 →
