Where these two actually differ
- We flag Undisclosed waterproofing agents (PFAS risk proxy), Fragrance allergen or preservative sensitization, Silicone occlusion and comedogenicity and UV filter photoallergy or skin sensitization on the Blue Tansy and not on the Goddess Garden.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Skin irritation or photosensitivity from plant oils on the Goddess Garden and not on the Blue Tansy.
- The Blue Tansy is Water-resistant cosmetic emulsion (likely silicone-based UV essence) where the Goddess Garden is mineral-based UV filters, plant-derived waxes, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Goddess Garden is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Blue Tansy grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
