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 Neutrogena.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed), Formaldehyde releasers in preservative system and 1,4-dioxane (cosmetic manufacturing contaminant) on the Neutrogena and not on the L'Oréal.
  • The L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients where the Neutrogena is water-based liquid foundation, pigments, glycerin, preservatives, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • We are less certain about the Neutrogena grade, at 45% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.

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 →
