Where these two actually differ

  • 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 Tower 28.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and irritants and 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic ingredients on the Tower 28 and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
  • The NYX Professional Makeup is Emollient lip oil blend (likely silicone, plant oils, vitamin E) 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 →
