Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Skin irritation or photosensitivity from plant oils on the Goddess Garden and not on the Supergoop.
- We flag Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water-resistance matrix, Heavy metals in mineral UV filter concentrates, Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components and Silicone accumulation on skin or in waterways on the Supergoop and not on the Goddess Garden.
- The Goddess Garden is mineral-based UV filters, plant-derived waxes where the Supergoop is Water-resistant lotion base with mineral UV filters, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Goddess Garden is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Supergoop grade, at 42% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
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 →
