Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the NYX.
  • We flag Formaldehyde releasers (resins/preservatives), Phthalates in plasticizers, Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components) and 1,4-dioxane (trace solvent in surfactants) on the NYX and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
  • The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the NYX is proprietary liquid matte pigment blend, waterproof polymer 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 NYX 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 →
