Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and 1,4-dioxane (solvent contaminant) on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
  • We flag Talc contamination and inhalation risk and 1,4-dioxane and other solvent contaminants on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
  • The NYX Professional Makeup is liquid primer, typical cosmetic emulsion base where the NYX Professional Makeup is silicone, talc, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), pigments, 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 →
