PFAS in Cosmetics
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of synthetic chemicals widely used for their water- and oil-repellent properties, stain resistance, and exceptional chemical and thermal stability.
Their unique molecular structure makes them extremely persistent in the environment, earning them the name “forever chemicals.” Once released, PFAS can remain for decades in water, soil, and living organisms, leading to bioaccumulation and widespread environmental dispersion.
