Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed sensitizers, Aluminum compound effects (if antiperspirant), Preservative or antifungal additives and Synthetic fragrance-driven skin irritation 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 Cosmetic formulation, typical ingredients undisclosed for full composition where the Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 35 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Puracy is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Baxter of California grade, at 25% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.

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 →
