Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Formaldehyde releasers in preservatives, Bacterial contamination from fingertip application and Mineral oil degradation and skin barrier effects on the Hume and not on the Primally Pure.
- We flag Skin irritation from magnesium hydroxide alkalinity on the Primally Pure and not on the Hume.
- The Hume is cosmetic balm, likely mineral oil/wax base where the Primally Pure is mineral-based powder blend (arrowroot, magnesium hydroxide, mica), 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 Primally Pure is the one to buy.
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 →
