PFAS score
Revlon · Makeup
Revlon ColorStay Light Cover Liquid Foundation
Insufficient public data; no known PFAS risk but no transparency either.
Revlon ColorStay is a liquid foundation with synthetic polymers typical of long-wear formulas, but PFAS presence has not been publicly disclosed by the brand or independently verified. Cosmetics occasionally contain fluorinated compounds for water resistance, though this specific product lacks transparency.
Still want this one anyway? Check the price on Amazon. We’d swap it.

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.
