Pore Filler Primer vs All Nighter Face Primer: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc contamination and inhalation risk and 1,4-dioxane and other solvent contaminants on the NYX Professional Makeup and not on the Urban Decay.
- We flag Fluorinated polymers (PFAS precursors), Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components and Silicone film occlusion and skin barrier effects on the Urban Decay and not on the NYX Professional Makeup.
- The NYX Professional Makeup is silicone, talc, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), pigments where the Urban Decay is silicone-based primer with water-resistant polymers, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the NYX Professional Makeup is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Urban Decay grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
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 →
