Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens (natural essential oils) and Skin irritation from plant-based actives (coconut oil, beeswax contact sensitivity) on the Each & Every and not on the Primally Pure.
  • We flag Skin irritation from magnesium hydroxide alkalinity on the Primally Pure and not on the Each & Every.
  • The Each & Every is cosmetic formulations, primary ingredients listed where the Primally Pure is mineral-based powder blend (arrowroot, magnesium hydroxide, mica), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

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 →
