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 Talc or starch inhalation risk, Aluminum salt systemic absorption, Fragrance allergens and skin irritation and Skin barrier disruption and irritation on the Secret and not on the Puracy.
- The Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula where the Secret is Starch-based or talc-based solid antiperspirant; no water-repellent or durable coating disclosed, 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.
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 →
