Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in pigments / mineral powder, Fragrance allergens / essential oil sensitization and Bacterial / fungal growth in container (use and storage) 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-based powder (mica, talc alternatives), plant extracts, magnesium hydroxide 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 →
