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 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 Wax, oils, pigments, emollients in a cream lip product where the Tower 28 is Jelly base, pigments, oils, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
