Hairspray (Pliable Flexible Hold) 10.2oz

D · Elevated

Skip due to proprietary formula opacity and no PFAS transparency from Puracy on this product.

Puracy markets this hairspray as a plant-derived brand, but the product label does not disclose the specific polymer resins or aerosol propellants used. Hairsprays typically contain acrylic or vinyl polymers; some legacy formulas have used fluorinated compounds, but modern aerosol hairsprays rarely require PFAS.

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.
