Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and irritants and 1,4-dioxane in cosmetic ingredients on the Tower 28 and not on the Well People.
- We flag Oil oxidation and rancidity on prolonged storage and Plant-based ingredient sensitivity (individual reaction to waxes or specific oils) on the Well People and not on the Tower 28.
- The Tower 28 is Jelly base, pigments, oils where the Well People is Lip gloss with natural waxes and oils, 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, 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 →
