Deodorant Cream 2oz Glass vs Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Secret.
  • We flag Fragrance allergens and sensitizers, Cyclopentasiloxane or silicone residue buildup and Preservative sensitivity (methylchloroisothiazolinone or parabens) on the Secret and not on the Puracy.
  • The Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula where the Secret is gel polymer base with waterproofing treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 70 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Puracy is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Secret grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.

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 →
