Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc contamination risk, Fragrance allergen sensitization and Baking soda irritation on the Megababe and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Megababe.
- The Megababe is powder/mineral base; aluminum-free formulation where the Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
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 →
