Ohhhh! Ok! So, You’re Telling Me E.L.F. Cosmetics Power Grip Primer and E.L.F. Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer Have the Same Ingredients

While Milk Makeup is busy introducing Jumbo Sizes of Hydro Grip Primer, E.L.F. Power Grip Primer is making things a little more affordable. E.L.F. Cosmetics recently introduced Power Grip Primer in their Spring 2022 line up and it appears to be here to stay as it doesn’t come in any special packaging. This $10 primer is 1 oz in size and is a gel-based formula that grips makeup for all-day wear.

As you already know one of my all-time favorite primers from E.L.F. is the Jelly Pop Primer which has stuck around since the last time it came back much to my delight. But prior to it returning it was gone for a while and E.L.F.cameout with Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer last Spring. Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer is still around and on clearance at E.L.F. which is odd because they reintroduced it on some level with the Power Grip Primer as the two primers have almost the same exact ingredients.

Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-150 Distearate, Polysorbate 80, Niacinamide, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melissa Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Water, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Water, Pentylene Glycol, Trideceth-9, Menthol, PEG-240/HDI Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol,Propylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Fragrance(Parfum), Disodium EDTA

E.L.F. Power Grip Primer Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-150 Distearate, Polysorbate 80, Niacinamide, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Water, Melissa Officinalis Flower/Leaf/Stem Water, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium AscorbylPhosphate, Menthol, Pentylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, PEG-240/HDI Copolymer Bis-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Trideceth-9, 1,2-HexanediolMay Contain:Blue 1 (CI 42090), Yellow 5 (CI 19140)

As you can see both contain a lot of the same ingredients. They aren’t completely identical but the similarities are hella close.

I’m actually glad of it because I noticed Mint Melt Cooling Face Primer was actually pretty good for me (but I do prefer Jelly Pop) and I wouldn’t mind seeing a permanent part of E.L.F.’s Collection. That being said, this is good info to know if you by some chance stocked up on Mint Melt or you have one in your current rotation as why spend $10 bucks more on Power Grip Primer when the formulas are essentially the same anyway.

Consider this your warning to not buy it if you already have some Mint Melt you need to use up!

E.L.F. Power Grip Primer is available now.

    I�m SO glad you looked at the IL because I was considering the Power Grip instead of the Milk Hydrogrip. Since I have a couple of the Mint Melts still, I�ll wait till I get thru my stash before jumping on any. Your the best Muse!

      Oh my pleasure. I did buy Powergrip like an idiot but really, I have Mint to get through so it was a wasted purchase on my behalf as they really do have almost the same exact ingredients!
