Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc contamination (asbestos risk), Fragrance allergens and sensitizers and Bacterial growth if improperly stored or contaminated on the Degree and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Degree.
- The Degree is Water-based emulsion (typical stick deodorant base, cyclopentasiloxane, stearic acid, talc, 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.
