Pack Crep Protect Spray Crep 200 ml + Déodorant pour chaussures Crep Fresh Linen 150 ml
Avoid until the brand improves ingredient disclosure.
These spray products lack published ingredient lists or PFAS statements. Protective and waterproofing sprays commonly rely on Teflon-family coating or PFAS to achieve water and stain repellency.

What Pack Crep Protect Spray Crep 200 ml is made of, ingredients and materials
Crep Protect spray is an aerosol-delivered protective coating (polymer/resin type unspecified by brand), designed to repel water and stains on fabric and shoe uppers. The aerosol propellant and carrier solvents are undisclosed, which prevents assessment of volatile organic compound (VOC) burden or inhalation risk. Fluorinated polymers (PFAS) are standard in water-repellent sprays for durability; the brand's poor PFAS transparency (40/100) suggests reliance on these compounds without ingredient-level disclosure.
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.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from propellant and solvents
Aerosol formulations inherently release propellants and carrier solvents; brand does not disclose specific chemicals or VOC content. Inhalation during application poses respiratory irritation risk, especially in poorly ventilated spaces or with repeated exposure.
Inhalation hazard from aerosol particulates
Fine aerosol mist can be inhaled, potentially depositing polymer particles and solvents in lungs. Risk is elevated in enclosed spaces and with prolonged or frequent use; no brand guidance on recommended application distance or duration is provided.
Coating degradation and microparticle shedding
Polymer coatings degrade over time and with washing, potentially releasing microscopic fragments into fabrics and subsequently the environment. Long-term health implications of inhaling or ingesting degraded coating particles are not quantified for this specific product.
Skin and eye contact irritation
Aerosol stain-guard sprays commonly cause irritation if applied directly to skin or splashed in eyes. No Safety Data Sheet or product warnings are publicly available for this specific brand to quantify severity or recommended first-aid measures.
What’s reassuring
Formaldehyde / VOCs
No evidence of formaldehyde resins in typical fabric stain-guard sprays, but absence of brand ingredient disclosure means this cannot be ruled out entirely. Industry standard formulations do not typically use formaldehyde, but transparency gap creates uncertainty.

The brand's record and disclosure
Crep Protect has not published a full ingredient list or PFAS policy on their public materials. No relevant product recalls or safety certifications (e.g., Oeko-Tex, BlueSign) are on record. The brand's silence on PFAS amid widespread industry adoption of long-chain fluorochemicals indicates either unaware or intentionally opaque communication. No independent lab testing or third-party safety audits have been published for this product line.
How it compares in its category
Fabric stain-guard sprays typically rely on silicone, wax, or fluorinated polymers; Crep Protect's unspecified formulation places it in the lower-transparency tier. Competitors such as Scotchgard (3M) and Jason Markk publish broader safety data and certifications. The pairing with a deodorant spray suggests multi-product use, increasing cumulative aerosol inhalation and VOC exposure compared to single-product alternatives. Price-point products often trade ingredient clarity for cost.
If you buy it
Apply only in well-ventilated spaces (open windows, outdoors) to minimize inhalation of propellant and volatile carriers. Test on inconspicuous areas first; some coatings can darken or alter fabric feel. Reapply every 3-6 months depending on use and washing frequency; coating degrades naturally. Do not apply near heat sources, flames, or to skin; store upright in cool, dry conditions. Use the deodorant spray separately, not in combination during application.
