Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components), Aluminum salts in antiperspirant active (if present) and Skin irritation from wax or oil oxidation over storage on the Kosas and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Kosas.
- The Kosas is Stick deodorant base (typically waxes, oils, starch) 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.
