Lower PFAS risk likely, but no public assurance from Revlon, check EWG database for updated cosmetic ingredient reviews.

Revlon ColorStay is a water-based liquid foundation with no known intentional PFAS additions (unlike waterproof or long-wear cosmetics formulated with Teflon-family coating coatings). However, Revlon makes no public PFAS disclosure or third-party claims.

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.
