SEPhora Collection 12HR Colorful Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner
Skip until Sephora discloses waterproofing chemistry, 12HR waterproof eyeliner typically relies on synthetic polymers with undisclosed PFAS risk.
Sephora Collection does not publicly disclose whether this waterproof eyeliner uses PFAS-containing Teflon-family coating or water-repellent coating coatings. Waterproof cosmetics, especially 12-hour formulas, commonly use PFAS to achieve water resistance, but the brand provides no transparency.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% 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.
