Where these two actually differ
- We flag Aluminum absorption and systemic accumulation, Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Glycol skin irritation and occlusion and Bacterial and fungal growth on roller ball on the Ban and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Ban.
- The Ban is Water-based emulsion, aluminum salts, glycol, starch where the Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 25 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Puracy is the one to buy.
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 →
