Where these two actually differ
- 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 Holmenkol.
- We flag Hydrocarbon solvent volatilization and inhalation exposure, Container leakage or disposal of spent solvent and Environmental persistence and bioaccumulation (hydrocarbon wax residue on snow and waterwa on the Holmenkol and not on the Star Ski Wax.
- The Star Ski Wax is hydrocarbon ski wax (non-fluorinated) where the Holmenkol is Liquid ski/snowboard wax, hydrocarbon base, 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 →
