Where these two actually differ
- We flag Skin irritation from magnesium hydroxide alkalinity on the Primally Pure and not on the Primally Pure.
- We flag Beeswax purity and contamination and Skin irritation from plant actives on the Primally Pure and not on the Primally Pure.
- The Primally Pure is mineral-based powder blend (arrowroot, magnesium hydroxide, mica) where the Primally Pure is natural mineral powders, plant-based actives, beeswax, 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 →
