Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed composition), 1,4-dioxane (cosmetic solvent contaminant) and Bacterial colonization on applicator wand on the MAC and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed sensitizers, Oxidative degradation of plant oils and vitamin E and 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the MAC.
- The MAC is Silicone-based non-sticky gloss formula (typical MAC formulation) where the NYX Professional Makeup is Emollient lip oil blend (likely silicone, plant oils, vitamin E), 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: 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 →
