Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens or essential oil irritants and Microbial or oxidative degradation of oil base on the Ere Perez and not on the MAC.
- We flag Heavy metals in colorants (iron oxides, titanium dioxide, mica), Formaldehyde releasers (preservative system), 1,4-dioxane (contaminant in polyethylene glycol or emulsifiers) and Eye irritation from film formers or fragrance compounds on the MAC and not on the Ere Perez.
- The Ere Perez is Jojoba oil, waxes, pigments (natural eye pencil formulation) where the MAC is gel pigment formulation (primary ingredients not publicly disclosed for proprietary reasons), 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 →
