Pacifica does not publicly disclose PFAS status for this lip gloss. Lip glosses often contain film-forming polymers and silicones that may include PFAS-based water-resistance or slip agents, but the brand provides no transparency.

What we don’t know

This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 62% 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.
