Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eyeliner Stick
Skip until brand discloses, waterproof cosmetics often use PFAS, and Bobbi Brown is silent.
Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Cream Eyeliner is marketed as waterproof, a feature historically achieved using PFAS in cosmetics. The brand makes no public disclosure of PFAS-free status or ingredient transparency. Without third-party testing or a firm PFAS-free claim, waterproof eyeliners carry moderate concern.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
