Juice Beauty Compact Foundation M Tawny - New Beauty | Color: Silver
Lower concern. Powder cosmetics rarely contain PFAS intentionally.
Juice Beauty does not disclose PFAS ingredients or testing. Pressed powder foundations typically use talc, mica, and mineral pigments without added fluorochemicals, posing lower PFAS risk than waterproof or long-wear cosmetics.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
This is a pressed powder foundation using talc and/or mica as the base, combined with iron oxides and synthetic pigments for color. Talc in cosmetics has been subject to contamination concerns historically, though cosmetic-grade talc is regulated and tested. Mica is an inert mineral alternative increasingly used in powder cosmetics. The pressed compact format means minimal risk of aerosolization compared to loose powders, reducing inhalation exposure.
The brand's record and disclosure
Juice Beauty markets itself as a clean beauty brand emphasizing natural juice extracts, but does not publicly disclose detailed ingredient sourcing or third-party safety testing. No major recalls or regulatory warnings on record for this product line. The brand does not transparently address talc sourcing or testing for asbestos contamination, which is a disclosure gap rather than an established problem.
How it compares in its category
Powder foundations are among the lowest-risk cosmetic formats for chemical hazards; pressed compacts are safer than loose powders due to reduced dust inhalation. Juice Beauty's formulation is typical for the mid-range clean beauty segment. Alternative options with mica-only bases or certified talc testing exist but carry no meaningfully lower risk profile for most users.
If you buy it
Apply with a brush or sponge rather than fingers to minimize skin contact with concentrated pigment load. Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity, as pressed compacts can crack or degrade. Do not inhale powder directly during application. Replace if you notice visible mold, separation, or odor changes indicating contamination. Patch-test if you have sensitive skin or known sensitivities to iron oxides or mica.
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.”
Talc contamination (asbestos)
Talc ore can naturally contain asbestos fibers. Cosmetic-grade talc is regulated and tested in most markets, but Juice Beauty does not publicly disclose talc sourcing or asbestos testing. Risk is low for typical use but not eliminated by brand transparency.
Iron oxide pigments and heavy metals
Iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) are approved colorants in cosmetics and are not known to leach significant quantities of heavy metals into skin during topical use. No specific safety issues reported for this product.
Formaldehyde releasers or preservatives
Pressed powder compacts require minimal preservation due to low water content. No formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are typical in this format, and none are documented for Juice Beauty products.
Fragrance allergens and undisclosed fragrance components
If the product contains fragrance or essential oils from juice extract ingredients, individual allergen components may not be listed separately on packaging. Users with fragrance sensitivity should perform a patch test.
Synthetic pigment sensitivization
Synthetic iron oxide and mica colorants are well-tolerated in cosmetics, with rare sensitization reports. No specific adverse events linked to this Juice Beauty shade are documented.
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.
