Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Sense of Scents.
- We flag Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) skin irritation, Fragrance allergens (hinoki, sage extracts) and Rancidity in plant oil base on the Sense of Scents and not on the Puracy.
- The Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula where the Sense of Scents is Natural deodorant base (presumed mineral, plant oil, or powder), 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 →
