About

A perfluoroalkyl phosphate surfactant — a PFAS. EU regulators are progressively banning PFAS in cosmetics over environmental persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity concerns. Treated as serious-concern, avoid.

Function

SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

Skin benefits

  • No legitimate cosmetic benefit justifying PFAS use

Known concerns

  • Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) — extreme environmental persistence
