Seriously Soothing 24hr Moisture Lotion
Low PFAS risk; typical moisturizer formula without known PFAS triggers.
Acure's lotion is a standard cosmetic with no fluorinated polymers or water-repellent finishes typical of PFAS use. No brand disclosure on PFAS, but the formula lacks common vectors.

What Seriously Soothing 24hr Moisture Lotion is made of, ingredients and materials
This is a water-based emulsion dominated by glycerin (a humectant that draws moisture into skin) and plant extracts, held together by emulsifiers to prevent separation. The formula contains no known synthetic silicones, mineral oil, or occlusive waxes that would trap contaminants or degrade over time. Water-glycerin systems are among the lowest-risk cosmetic bases because they lack the lipid phases where heavy metals or persistent chemicals typically accumulate.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Lead
Plant-derived cosmetic ingredients can bioaccumulate trace metals depending on soil and water source. Acure does not publish heavy metal testing data for this moisturizer; this is standard industry practice, not a specific red flag.
Source, ATSDR ↗Fragrance allergens (undisclosed components)
Product formulation indicates botanical extracts and fragrance components; specific allergen identity is not itemized on labels, which is legal but limits identification of individual sensitivities.
Microbial growth (water-based formula)
Water-based emulsions require robust preservatives to prevent bacterial and mold colonization if seal integrity is compromised or storage is warm. Risk is use-dependent, not manufacturing defect.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
1,4-dioxane (processing impurity)
No independent lab data or regulatory notice of 1,4-dioxane contamination in Acure moisturizers is on record. Water-glycerin formulas typically carry lower dioxane risk than surfactant-heavy cleansers, but absence of testing does not confirm zero presence.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Acure does not publicize use of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (imidazolidinyl urea, dmdm hydantoin) in this product line. No recalls or violations involving formaldehyde have been reported; however, full preservative identity is not disclosed in public sources.

The brand's record and disclosure
Acure markets itself as a clean beauty brand and provides ingredient transparency on packaging and website. No product recalls, formaldehyde-releaser violations, or heavy metal contamination have been publicly reported for this line. The brand does not explicitly communicate PFAS avoidance strategies, which is common among mid-market personal care brands; silence is not a red flag in this category unless paired with known use of fluorinated compounds or aqueous film-forming foams.
How it compares in its category
Water-glycerin moisturizers are the baseline safety tier in skincare; they carry lower chemical complexity than occlusive creams or silicone serums. Acure's plant-extract focus is typical of the clean beauty segment and does not inherently raise or lower hazard risk compared to unscented dermatological alternatives. Practical difference, plant extracts can trigger contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, whereas fragrance-free formulas minimize that vector.
If you buy it
Store below 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25C) to preserve emulsion stability; heat exposure can cause phase separation and microbial overgrowth. Use within 12 months of opening; water-based products lack the preservative intensity of oil-rich creams and are vulnerable to contamination once the seal is broken. If irritation or rash develops, discontinue and rinse with water; patch-test on inner arm if you have a history of plant extract sensitivity.
