Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and essential oils, Formaldehyde releasers and preservatives and Rancidity and microbial growth in wax-oil base on the Burt's Bees and not on the Sigma Beauty.
  • We flag Heavy metals in color pigments (lead, cadmium, arsenic), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance ingredients, 1,4-dioxane (manufacturing residue in emulsifiers/surfactants) and Lip irritation or allergic reaction from fragrance or wax components on the Sigma Beauty and not on the Burt's Bees.
  • The Burt's Bees is wax, oils, pigments (standard lip color base) where the Sigma Beauty is wax, pigments, oils (standard lipstick), 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.

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 →
