Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in cosmetic pigments, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Coating degradation and lip irritation from excipients on the Charlotte Tilbury and not on the MAC.
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed composition), 1,4-dioxane (cosmetic solvent contaminant) and Bacterial colonization on applicator wand on the MAC and not on the Charlotte Tilbury.
- The Charlotte Tilbury is Wax, oils, pigments, emollients in a cream lip product where the MAC is Silicone-based non-sticky gloss formula (typical MAC formulation), 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 →
