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 Fluorochemicals (PFAS) in waterproofing, Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Mechanical injury from pencil shape and sharpening 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 treatment (formulation undisclosed), 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 42% 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 →
