Where these two actually differ
- We flag Talc or starch inhalation risk, Fragrance allergens and sensitization, Skin irritation from emollients or preservatives and Bacterial or fungal growth in stick applicator on the Old Spice and not on the Puracy.
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Old Spice.
- The Old Spice is Aluminum-free powder base (talc, starch, or mineral), fragrance, emollients 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.
