Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Maybelline.
- We flag Undisclosed fluorinated water-resistance additives (PFAS precursor risk), Formaldehyde releasers in preservative systems, 1,4-dioxane as ethoxylation impurity and Fragrance allergen sensitivity on the Maybelline and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Maybelline is liquid ink suspension with waterproof film-forming polymers, 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 Maybelline grade, at 35% 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 →
