Where these two actually differ
- We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination in emollients, Fragrance allergens or undisclosed fragrance components and Mica inhalation risk if aerosolized on the Guerlain and not on the L'Oréal.
- We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens (unlisted components) and Microbial growth if stored improperly on the L'Oréal and not on the Guerlain.
- The Guerlain is Liquid foundation with mineral pigments and emollients where the L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Guerlain grade, at 42% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.
