BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss vs Superstay Gloss: which is safer?

BECCA x Chrissy Teigen Glow Gloss is the clear pick. Maybelline Superstay Gloss carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Maybelline.
  • We flag PFAS in waterproof coating, 1,4-dioxane contamination, Fragrance and colorant allergens and Silicone accumulation and irritation 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 Film-forming polymers, silicones, 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 Maybelline grade, at 42% 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 →
