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 MAC.
- We flag Heavy metals in iron oxide pigments, Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Skin barrier disruption from silicone occlusion on the MAC and not on the L'Oréal.
- The L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients where the MAC is liquid foundation with silicones, pigments, and emollients, 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 →
