Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Formaldehyde-releaser preservatives, Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components) and Applicator sponge bacterial growth on the Clinique and not on the Dior Beauty.
  • We flag 1,4-dioxane (solvent contaminant) and Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components on the Dior Beauty and not on the Clinique.
  • The Clinique is Pigments, oils, waxes, polymers (typical liquid foundation/makeup base) where the Dior Beauty is liquid foundation base with pigments, polymers, silicones, 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 →
