Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Oil rancidity and oxidation over time 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, wax, pigments 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.
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 →
