Lip Smacker Crayola Liquid Lip Gloss Party Pack
Lower concern. Liquid cosmetics rarely contain intentional PFAS.
Lip Smacker is a cosmetic product with no known PFAS-intentional ingredients. No public testing or brand disclosure available. Standard liquid lip gloss poses lower PFAS risk than treated textiles or nonstick cookware.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Lip Smacker Crayola liquid gloss is a silicone or polymer-based gel formulation with synthetic colorants and fragrance. These bases are selected because they are occlusive, non-toxic when applied topically in small amounts, and unlikely to leach harmful compounds during normal use on lips. The product is designed for external use only and does not require ingestion; any small amount swallowed during wear is not a safety concern at typical usage levels.
The brand's record and disclosure
Crayola (owned by Hallmark) manufactures products with a long history of compliance with FDA cosmetic regulations and US Consumer Product Safety Commission standards. The brand does not prominently disclose detailed ingredient sourcing or third-party testing results for Lip Smacker, which is standard for mainstream cosmetics but limits independent verification. No significant product recalls or safety controversies have been documented for this product line in public records.
How it compares in its category
Liquid lip glosses as a category carry minimal inherent risk compared to powder cosmetics or heavily pigmented products, since they avoid talc and inhalation hazards. Crayola Lip Smacker sits in the mass-market, youth-oriented segment; it is formulated to be gentler than some premium glosses but lacks third-party certifications (e.g., hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested) that some competitors offer. The low price point reflects simplified formulation rather than quality compromise.
If you buy it
Apply only to lips; do not ingest. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent degradation of the silicone base. Replace if the product changes color, develops an off odor, or thickens unevenly, as these signs suggest contamination or separation. If irritation, swelling, or allergic reaction occurs (rare), discontinue use and patch-test on wrist before reapplication.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Fragrance allergens
Crayola Lip Smacker contains added fragrance for taste and scent appeal. Individuals with sensitive lips or fragrance sensitivities may experience mild irritation or contact dermatitis; this is not unique to this brand but is inherent to flavored lip products.
Synthetic colorant safety
Lip Smacker uses FDA-approved synthetic dyes and pigments permitted in cosmetics. No recalls or contamination reports specific to heavy metals or banned colorants in this product have been documented.
1,4-dioxane (solvent impurity)
Liquid cosmetics formulated with certain emulsifiers or surfactants may contain trace 1,4-dioxane as an unintended byproduct. Crayola does not publicly disclose testing for this; levels in lip gloss are typically far below oral concern thresholds due to minimal ingestion and external application.
Coating degradation and leaching
As a liquid formulation in a plastic tube or bottle, there is no ceramic or metal coating to degrade. The silicone base itself is stable and does not leach into the product over normal shelf life.
Microplastics from polymer base
The silicone or polymer base itself is not classified as microplastic contamination; it is a continuous gel matrix, not particulate. No evidence suggests this product sheds microplastic particles during use.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
