Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens and undisclosed ingredients and Skin irritation from zinc ricinoleate or other actives on the Lume and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Lume.
- The Lume is Mineral-based powder deodorant (aluminum-free formula) where the Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
