Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Talc contamination (asbestos, respirable particles), Aluminum salt systemic absorption, Fragrance allergen potential and PFAS in powder matrix or fragrance compounds 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 Powder antiperspirant/deodorant base (typical, aluminum salts, talc or starches, fragrance) 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 Corpus Christi grade, at 45% 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 →
