Where these two actually differ
- We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and solvent inhalation risk, Fluorinated compounds (PTFE, other fluorochemicals), Hydrocarbon or mineral oil presence and Skin irritation or sensitization from undisclosed additives on the Toko and not on the Star Ski Wax.
- We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and mineral oil vapor, Skin sensitization or contact dermatitis and Ingestion risk in children on the Star Ski Wax and not on the Toko.
- The Toko is Unknown; likely liquid product base unclear where the Star Ski Wax is hydrocarbon ski wax (non-fluorinated), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Toko grade, at 25% confidence against 78%, 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 →
