What Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Foundation, #335 is made of, ingredients and materials
Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear is a silicone-based liquid foundation containing pigments (iron oxides, titanium dioxide), emollients, and film-formers designed for long wear and matte finish. Liquid foundations in this class are generally stable when applied topically; the main exposure routes are skin contact and potential inhalation during application. The silicone carrier is inert on skin, but the pigment package and preservative system determine safety profile.
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
Iron oxide and titanium dioxide pigments used in foundations can carry trace heavy metal contamination depending on mining and refining standards. No third-party testing of this specific shade (#335) is publicly available; regulatory limits exist but do not eliminate all exposure.
Source, ATSDR ↗Fragrance allergens and sensitizers
Pro Filt'r lists fragrance as an ingredient. While concentrations in foundations are lower than in perfumes, individuals with fragrance sensitivity or contact dermatitis may react. Specific fragrance allergens are not disclosed on packaging.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
Fenty does not publicly disclose the preservative system used in Pro Filt'r. Liquid foundations typically use either paraben blends, phenoxyethanol, or formaldehyde releasers. 1,4-dioxane is not a direct additive but can be a contaminant in ethoxylated ingredients; no specific data exists for this product.
Source, ATSDR ↗What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Skin irritation or allergic contact dermatitis from emollients
Pro Filt'r formulation includes common emollients (silicones, oils) that are well-tolerated at scale, with no reported pattern of adverse reactions. Individual sensitivity remains possible and is not product-specific.
Microplastic migration or environmental persistence
No microplastics are disclosed as intentional ingredients in Pro Filt'r. Silicone polymers in the formula do not break down readily in aquatic environments, but this is a category-wide concern, not brand-specific.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Fenty Beauty has not published detailed ingredient disclosure statements or third-party safety certifications (e.g., cruelty-free beyond marketing, heavy metal testing). The brand does not publicly address PFAS use or avoidance. No major safety recalls or regulatory actions are on record for Pro Filt'r line. Fenty's ingredient lists are compliant with FDA and EU cosmetic regulations but transparency beyond legal minimums is limited.
How it compares in its category
Pro Filt'r occupies the mid-to-premium mass-market segment; its safety profile is typical of silicone foundations from brands like MAC, Urban Decay, and Estee Lauder. Independent testing by organizations like Beautycounter and EWG has not flagged Pro Filt'r as an outlier for heavy metals or volatile contaminants. It is less regulated than pharmaceutical-grade or clinical-intent foundations but meets consumer-product safety standards in major markets.
If you buy it
Apply a small amount to test for skin reactivity before full use, especially if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance sensitivity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to slow oxidation and preserve pigment stability. Replace after 12 months of opening or sooner if you notice color separation, odor changes, or skin irritation. Wash hands immediately after application and avoid prolonged inhalation during application in poorly ventilated spaces.
