Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance compound allergens and irritants, Heavy metals in botanical extracts and Inhalation risk from spray format on the Lavanila and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Lavanila.
- The Lavanila is Fragrance (alcohol, botanical extracts, essential oils, fragrance compounds) 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.
