Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, 1,4-dioxane (synthetic resin contaminant) and Resin volatilization under heat or UV exposure on the Charlotte Tilbury and not on the Tower 28.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and irritants and 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic ingredients on the Tower 28 and not on the Charlotte Tilbury.
  • The Charlotte Tilbury is Pigments, waxes, oils, resins in lip gloss formulation where the Tower 28 is Jelly base, pigments, oils, which is most of the difference in these two grades.

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 →
