RMS Beauty · Eyeliner
R.e.m. Beauty At The Borderline Gel Eyeliner Pencil
Skip until brand discloses waterproofing agents, gel cosmetics often use PFAS-based water resistance coatings.
This waterproof gel eyeliner pencil contains no disclosed information about PFAS or waterproofing chemistry. Waterproof cosmetics frequently rely on Teflon-family coating or perfluorinated compounds to resist moisture; RMS Beauty has not published ingredient transparency or third-party testing on this product.

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.
