Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Skin sensitization from plant-derived oils or botanicals on the Ilia Beauty and not on the MAC.
- We flag Talc and potential asbestos contamination and Bacterial or fungal growth if stored improperly on the MAC and not on the Ilia Beauty.
- The Ilia Beauty is pigments, waxes, oils in stick form where the MAC is Mineral pigments, talc, mica, binders, 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 →
