Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc and asbestos contamination, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Inhalation risk from powder aerosol 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 Powder blend (talc or talc-alternative, pigments, binders) where the Ilia Beauty is pigments, waxes, oils in stick form, 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 →
