Liquid Wax
Skip until Datawax publishes full ingredient disclosure and PFAS status.
Datawax is a generic liquid wax product with no publicly available ingredient list or PFAS disclosure. Liquid waxes can contain Teflon-family coating or PFAS-based water/stain repellents, but without transparency from the brand, risk cannot be assessed. Request a safety data sheet (SDS) or third-party testing before purchase.
Still want this one anyway? Check the price on Amazon. We’d swap it.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 25% 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.
Safer alternatives in Ski Wax
Start
Star Nf Non-Fluoro Ski Glide Wax 60 G
hydrocarbon ski wax (non-fluorinated)
Lower concern, non-fluoro wax avoids PFAS-laden fluorinated alternatives, but verify formulation transparency.
⚠Risky category by default
Start
Kick Wax Synthetic
Synthetic hydrocarbon wax blend
Lower concern. Synthetic ski wax lacks typical PFAS applications, but composition opacity warrants caution.
⚠Risky category by default
Start
Basewax
Wax-based product (beeswax, plant waxes, or mineral wax blend)
Lower-concern choice; wax-based products typically don't require PFAS, but verify ingredient list.
⚠Risky category by default
