D · Elevated

Insufficient transparency; nail gel polishes are not a known high-risk PFAS category, but no public disclosure from brand.

Kiara Sky Embers Glow is a gel nail polish with no publicly available PFAS disclosures or certifications. Gel polishes are not typically flagged as high-PFAS products like waterproof apparel or food packaging, but the brand provides no ingredient clarity or third-party verification.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% 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.
