Revlon Color Charge Powder Blush 105 No Rules
Lower-concern cosmetic; no known PFAS triggers, but Revlon provides no PFAS transparency.
Powder blush typically contains talc, mica, iron oxides, and pigments, materials with no established PFAS use in cosmetic formulations. Revlon does not publicly disclose PFAS presence or absence for this product. No third-party testing or certifications are known for this specific SKU, so confidence remains moderate rather than high.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
Revlon Color Charge powders are talc or mica-based formulations with iron oxides and synthetic pigments typical of pressed blush. Talc is an inert mineral that poses no chemical toxicity hazard in cosmetic-grade form, but the key concern historically has been asbestos contamination during mining, which regulatory bodies now require testing to exclude. Mica serves as an alternative filler in some batches and is considered safe; synthetic iron oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499) are FDA-approved colorants with minimal risk. The 'No Rules' shade uses these standard pigments without known restricted additives.
The brand's record and disclosure
Revlon has faced product safety scrutiny in the past (notably the 2021 New Jersey facility closure due to manufacturing violations), but Color Charge blush has no record of recalls or substantiated safety violations. The brand does not publish PFAS transparency statements for cosmetics, which is consistent with industry silence in this category; Revlon meets FDA baseline labeling requirements and is subject to cosmetic facility inspections. No major certifications (organic, cruelty-free by third parties) are claimed for this particular line.
How it compares in its category
Powder blushes as a category carry lower inherent risk than liquid or cream formulations because they contain minimal water and no preservatives that trigger contamination concerns. Revlon's talc-based approach is standard and older than mica-alternative products; both are acceptable, though mica-based blushes (common in indie and premium brands) avoid any residual asbestos concern in supply chains. Color Charge sits in the mass-market safety baseline: no premium claims, no luxury testing, no indie-level traceability, but also no category-specific recalls.
If you buy it
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity to prevent clumping; powder blush is stable and has no expiry-related breakdown risk. Replace if the pressed cake shows visible separation, cracks, or color shift, though these are cosmetic rather than safety issues. A light hand minimizes product waste and any inhalation exposure during application. Revlon powder products typically last 12-18 months with normal use; no special maintenance or heat/light precautions are required beyond standard cosmetic storage.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Talc contamination (asbestos)
FDA requires cosmetic talc to be asbestos-free; no recalls or test failures documented for Revlon Color Charge. Regulatory testing has been strengthened since talc litigation in skincare; powder blush carries lower inhalation risk than loose powders.
Heavy metals in synthetic pigments (lead, cadmium, chromium)
FDA-approved iron oxide and synthetic pigments (CI numbers) are subject to batch testing limits. Revlon products sold in the US meet FDA color additive regulations; no documented exceedances in this product line.
Fragrance allergens
Color Charge formulations may contain fragrance compounds; ingredient lists do not itemize individual fragrance allergens (formaldehyde releasers, cinnamates, etc.) under 'fragrance' declaration. Risk is low for a powder blush but not zero for sensitive individuals.
Mica safety (if mica-based batch)
Cosmetic-grade mica is not associated with inhalation harm at the exposure levels typical of blush application. Some Color Charge batches may use mica instead of talc; both are considered safe by current standards.
Microplastic particles
Powder blush is not formulated with microplastics; talc and mica are mineral, not plastic. This hazard is not relevant to this product category.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% 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.
