Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc inhalation and purity and Fragrance allergens on the Estée Lauder and not on the Ilia Beauty.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Skin sensitization from plant-derived oils or botanicals on the Ilia Beauty and not on the Estée Lauder.
- The Estée Lauder is Pigments, talc, mica, binders in pressed powder compact where the Ilia Beauty is pigments, waxes, oils in stick form, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
