Where these two actually differ
- 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 L'Oréal.
- We flag Heavy metals in pigments (iron oxides, titanium dioxide), Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and 1,4-Dioxane contamination in polymers and preservatives on the L'Oréal and not on the L'Oréal.
- The L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients where the L'Oréal is Water-based liquid foundation, polymers, pigments, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the L'Oréal grade, at 35% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.
