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 Rimmel.
- We flag Talc contamination and asbestos risk, Heavy metals in iron oxide or synthetic pigments and Microbial growth and contamination during storage or use on the Rimmel and not on the L'Oréal.
- The L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients where the Rimmel is Powder base, silicones, talc or mica, pigments, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Rimmel grade, at 45% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.
