Vice Lip Bond Glossy Longwear Liquid Lipstick
Waterproof liquid lipstick carries potential PFAS exposure; Urban Decay offers no transparency, skip if PFAS-concerned.
Vice Lip Bond is marketed as waterproof, a durability trait that historically relied on PFAS-based water repellent coatings in cosmetics. Urban Decay discloses nothing about PFAS status or ingredient sourcing. No third-party testing or certifications reduce concern. Safer alternatives with transparent PFAS-free claims exist.

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.
