Our take
Why It’s on Our Radar
We don't recommend it as a clean pick. It's conglomerate-owned and settled a class action after independent testing found PFAS in products marketed as non-toxic. It's here as a cautionary reference, with founder-owned, PFAS-tested alternatives above.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Marketed as non-toxic, but independent 2020 testing detected PFAS "forever chemicals," and the brand settled a class action over it in 2023 (agreeing to steps to avoid intentionally-added PFAS going forward).
