Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in synthetic pigments (lead, cadmium, arsenic), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components, 1,4-dioxane as trace manufacturing byproduct and Ingestion risk from lip application on the Maybelline and not on the Tower 28.
- We flag Fragrance allergens and irritants and 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic ingredients on the Tower 28 and not on the Maybelline.
- The Maybelline is Glycerin, silicone, wax, pigments where the Tower 28 is Jelly base, pigments, oils, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
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 →
