Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (essential oils, fragrance compounds) and Oil rancidity and skin irritation over time on the Burt's Bees and not on the Revlon.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Coating or wax degradation toxicity over time on the Revlon and not on the Burt's Bees.
- The Burt's Bees is Wax, oils, pigments, beeswax base where the Revlon is wax, oils, pigments, emollients, 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.
