Skip unless you confirm P&G's PFAS stance, brand silence on forever chemicals in cosmetics is a red flag.

Secret does not publicly disclose PFAS presence or absence in this antiperspirant. Antiperspirant cosmetics can contain PFAS in formulations and coatings, but this product's ingredient list and P&G transparency are unclear.

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.
