Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed sourcing), Aluminum salt leaching (if present in formulation) and Contact dermatitis from preservatives or emulsifiers on the Baxter of California and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Baxter of California.
- The Baxter of California is liquid/gel deodorant base; standard cosmetic emulsifiers and fragrance 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 →
