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 Saie.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, 1,4-dioxane or process contaminants and Bacterial or fungal growth in liquid formulation on the Saie and not on the Ilia Beauty.
- The Ilia Beauty is pigments, waxes, oils in stick form where the Saie is liquid pigments, water, glycerin, polymeric film-formers, 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, 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 →
