What Fenty Beauty says and does about PFAS
We found no PFAS statement from Fenty Beauty on its FAQ pages we could read. A third party blog reports that the sister line Fenty Skin lists PTFE/PFAS among ingredients it does not use, and says the makeup line has a shorter list, but we could not confirm that on a Fenty page. We found no independent lab test or PFAS lawsuit naming Fenty Beauty.
- Medical referenceThe Filtery blog reports that Fenty Skin has a list of ingredients it does not use, including PTFE/PFAS. This is a third party report of the brand's claim, not a Fenty page, and we could not confirm it on Fenty's site. The Filtery ↗
- StudyThe 2021 Notre Dame and Green Science Policy Institute screening of 231 makeup products found high fluorine in over half, but the research team did not publish brand names, so it is not a test naming Fenty Beauty. Green Science Policy Institute ↗
