Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara vs L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum: which is safer?
L'Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum is the clear pick. Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara carries a failing PFAS grade, and we never recommend buying a failing product.

Where these two actually differ
- We flag Heavy metals in pigments (iron oxides, manganese), Preservative allergens and formaldehyde releasers, Fragrance and fragrance allergens and Undisclosed PFAS in water-resistant or film-forming additives on the Ilia Beauty and not on the L'Oréal.
- We flag 1,4-dioxane contamination from emulsifiers, Fragrance allergens (unlisted components) and Microbial growth if stored improperly on the L'Oréal and not on the Ilia Beauty.
- The Ilia Beauty is liquid mascara formula, wax and resin base where the L'Oréal is water, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, pigments, emollients, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- We are less certain about the Ilia Beauty grade, at 35% confidence against 75%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
