Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc and asbestos contamination, Talc inhalation and respiratory exposure, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed components and Bacterial and fungal growth in powder on the Corpus Christi and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Corpus Christi.
- The Corpus Christi is Talc, starch, and fragrance base (antiperspirant powder) 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.
