Revlon lipstick averages 41 out of 100 on PFAS Authority's PFAS and toxin screen across the 8 Revlon lipstick products graded as of October 2026, below the 69 out of 100 median for the 10 other lipstick brands graded alongside it.
Revlon lipstick averages Poor on our four-band scale. 2 of the 8 we graded are worth buying. That is above 25% of the lipstick brands we grade.
PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Grades are model-based, built from published ingredients, materials, certifications, brand disclosures and third-party lab results where they exist. See the rubric.
What Revlon says and does about PFAS
We found no PFAS statement from Revlon. Its 2014 restricted chemicals list included PTFE, a fluoropolymer, and a 2022 class action alleged PFAS in Almay makeup, a Revlon brand. The lawsuit outcome was not confirmed in the sources we read.
- Brand statementRevlon's ingredients page says its ingredients have been reviewed for safety. The page does not mention PFAS. Revlon Ingredients page ↗
- Medical referenceIn December 2014 the Safe Cosmetics campaign reported Revlon had shared a restricted list that included PTFE. This is Revlon's commitment as relayed by an advocacy group, from 2014, and PTFE is one fluoropolymer, not all PFAS. Safe Cosmetics, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners ↗
- Legal caseAnderson et al. v. Almay, Inc. and Revlon, Inc., filed April 1, 2022 in federal court in New York, alleged Almay makeup marketed as clean contained PFAS. These are allegations. The ClassAction.org page does not state an outcome and we could not confirm one. ClassAction.org ↗
- Legal caseThe complaint says the plaintiffs' own testing of Almay products found organic fluorine, a PFAS marker. This is the plaintiffs' claim, not a finding by the court. ClassAction.org ↗
Sources checked September 30, 2026. A brand statement is the company’s own claim, which we report but have not verified. Our grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests.
