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 Urban Decay.
  • We flag Heavy metals in pigments (lead, cadmium, iron oxides), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance constituents and Polymer coating degradation and microplastic shedding with use on the Urban Decay and not on the Ere Perez.
  • The Ere Perez is Jojoba oil, wax, pigments where the Urban Decay is wax/pigment pencil with waterproof film-forming polymer, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Ere Perez is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Urban Decay grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.

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 →
