Where these two actually differ
- We flag Fragrance allergens, Formaldehyde releasers and Glass container breakage on the Puracy and not on the Tarte.
- We flag Fragrance and essential-oil allergenicity and Skin irritation from antimicrobial or pH-altering ingredients on the Tarte and not on the Puracy.
- The Puracy is Glass jar; water-based cream formula where the Tarte is wax, oil, and mineral-based stick deodorant (typical formulation), 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 →
