Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components on the Becca Cosmetics and not on the Sephora Collection.
- We flag Heavy metals in organic pigments, Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and 1,4-dioxane (formulation contaminant) on the Sephora Collection and not on the Becca Cosmetics.
- The Becca Cosmetics is Glycerin, silicones, pigments, film-formers (typical liquid cosmetic gloss) where the Sephora Collection is Emollient oils, waxes, pigments (typical gloss formula), 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.
- We are less certain about the Sephora Collection grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
