Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in mineral pigments and powders, Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance compounds, Microbial growth in powder base under humid conditions and Skin irritation from drying mineral base on the Megababe and not on the Primally Pure.
- We flag Skin irritation from magnesium hydroxide alkalinity on the Primally Pure and not on the Megababe.
- The Megababe is Mineral powder base, talc-free formula 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, which covers 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 →
