Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Inhalation exposure from spray aerosol, Propellant inhalation risk (hydrocarbons) and Skin irritation from alcohol base 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 Spray deodorant; primary actives typically aluminum salts or mineral compounds in hydrocarbon/alcohol base 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.

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 →
