Oribe Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray
Skip until Oribe discloses waterproofing chemistry; sea spray cosmetics often use fluorinated polymers.
Oribe's Apres Beach spray is marketed with water-resistance and shine-hold properties typical of cosmetics relying on waterproofing treatments. Oribe makes no public PFAS disclosure, and the brand has not pursued third-party PFAS verification.

Lab data
No public lab test
Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
cosmetics is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
No PFAS disclosure

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
