PFAS score
Leafgel · Nail Polish & Top Coat
Leafgel Sculpting Gel II 8g
Skip due to lack of ingredient transparency; gel cosmetics sometimes contain fluorinated compounds but Leafgel discloses nothing.
Leafgel Sculpting Gel II provides no public ingredient list, PFAS statement, or third-party verification. Gel cosmetics can contain fluorinated polymers or film-formers, but without a full disclosure or certification, PFAS risk cannot be ruled in or out.

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.
