Skip until clarity; nail polish PFAS use is undisclosed across the category.

Morgan Taylor has made no public statement on PFAS in this product or their cosmetics line. Nail lacquers historically may contain fluorinated resins or additives, but the brand provides no transparency. No third-party testing or certification available to confirm or rule out PFAS presence.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 45% 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.
