What Brow Wiz is made of, ingredients and materials
Brow Wiz is an ultra-thin mechanical pencil designed for eyebrow application. The shaft material is not publicly disclosed by the brand, and critically, the tip material composition remains undisclosed, making it impossible to assess whether it contains wood, plastic, or synthetic materials that could shed microparticles or contain additives. The lack of transparency on tip composition is unusual for a premium cosmetic product and prevents full hazard assessment.
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.
Undisclosed tip material and microparticle shedding
Because the tip composition is not publicly specified, it cannot be confirmed whether it is pure graphite, wax-bound, polymer-coated, or composite. Mechanical sharpening and use friction could generate or release fine particles, especially if the material is not fully consolidated; eyebrow application places this directly on skin and near the eye area.
Manufacturing disclosure and supply chain transparency
Anastasia Beverly Hills does not publicly disclose manufacturing facilities, supply chain audits, or process controls for heavy metals or contaminants. This opacity is the primary transparency gap and prevents informed assessment of contamination or cross-contamination risk during production.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No formaldehyde-releasing resins or preservatives are publicly listed in Brow Wiz formulations. However, the undisclosed shaft material and lack of ingredient transparency mean this cannot be ruled out entirely; typical brow pencils in this category do not require formaldehyde-based stabilizers, so risk is low if standard materials are used.
Source, ATSDR ↗Heavy metals
The brand does not disclose independent testing for lead, cadmium, or other metals in the pencil core. Eyebrow pencil cores are typically graphite or graphite-wax blends, which carry minimal heavy metal risk, but absence of public certification or third-party testing prevents confirmation for this specific product.
Source, FDA ↗Fragrance allergens or undisclosed additives
Brow Wiz is described as fragrance-free by the brand. However, the full ingredient list for the pencil shaft and tip is not publicly available, so minor fragrance components or skin contact irritants cannot be fully assessed; users with sensitive skin should patch test on a non-facial area first.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Anastasia Beverly Hills does not publish detailed ingredient sourcing, manufacturing certifications, or supply chain audits on their website. The brand has maintained a largely silent public stance on PFAS use, fluorinated polymers, or manufacturing process controls, which is atypical for a prestige cosmetics line in an era of increased scrutiny. No product recalls or regulatory actions specific to Brow Wiz have been documented in FDA or Health Canada records. The brand is owned by Estée Lauder Companies, a larger entity with some ESG commitments, but those do not translate to transparency at the product level.
How it compares in its category
Mechanical eyebrow pencils are generally lower-hazard than liquid or cream formulas because they avoid emulsifiers, preservatives, and volatile solvents. Brow Wiz's ultra-thin tip is a design differentiator that appeals to precision users, but the undisclosed tip material puts it at a transparency disadvantage versus competitors (e.g., Benefit Precisely My Brow, MAC Eyebrow Pencil) that publish more detailed material specifications. Most brow pencils in this price tier share similar disclosure gaps, making Brow Wiz neither exceptional nor uniquely problematic within its segment.
If you buy it
Store the pencil cap-on in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight to prevent tip warping or lead separation from the shaft. Replace the pencil once the tip becomes too blunt for application or if you notice crumbling, which indicates degradation. Wash your hands after application to remove any potential pencil debris from your eyelid area. Do not sharpen excessively or apply pressure that could cause splintering; use a gentle, clean sharpener and inspect the tip after sharpening for cracks or material flaking.
