PFAS score
Sally Hansen · Lip Gloss
Sally Hansen Miracle Care Lip Saver Lip Gloss
Lip gloss with waterproofing; PFAS risk unclear without ingredient disclosure.
Sally Hansen does not disclose PFAS status or full ingredient list. Waterproof cosmetics sometimes use fluorinated compounds, but specific formulation unknown. Lower confidence due to lack of transparency.

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.
