Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in pigments (lead, cadmium, arsenic), Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Preservative-related irritation (formaldehyde releasers or 1,4-dioxane) on the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r and not on the MAC Face and Body.
- We flag Formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing preservatives and Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components on the MAC Face and Body and not on the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r.
- The Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r is liquid foundation with pigments, silicone, and emollients where the MAC Face and Body is Water-based liquid foundation (pigments, glycerin, humectants, emulsifiers), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
