Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Skin irritation from wax or oil base and Inconsistent ingredient sourcing on the Chanel and not on the Puracy.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Chanel.
  • The Chanel is Stick deodorant base (wax/oil blend typical for cosmetics) 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.
