Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the MAC.
- We flag Heavy metals in synthetic colorants, Fragrance allergens and 1,4-dioxane as a trace contaminant 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 silicone-based liquid ink, waterproof coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Becca Cosmetics is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the MAC grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
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 →
