  PFAS in Cosmetics: 7 Real Studies, Hidden Risks, and How to Choose Safer Makeup2025-10-15
  1 │ What Are PFAS — and Why They Matter in Makeup PFAS stands for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, a large group of man-made chemicals that share one key feature — extremely strong carbon-fluorine bonds.This bond makes them resistant to heat, oil, water, and decay. Because of that, PFAS have been widely used in everything from non-stick pans to waterproof clothing — and now, in beauty products. In cosmetics, PFAS… Continue Reading PFAS in Cosmetics: 7 Real Studies, Hidden Risks, and How to Choose Safer Makeup

  7 Common Food-Contact Packages Found with PFAS: sources in the supply chain, realistic health risks, evolving regulations, and what consumers can do right now to avoid exposure2025-09-26
  Table of contents What are PFAS and why do they show up in packaging? Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large family of fluorinated chemicals valued for their water-, grease-, and stain-repellent performance. In food-contact materials, PFAS have historically been used to help paper and molded fiber resist oil and moisture, extending shelf-life and preventing leaks. While many manufacturers have phased out specific “legacy” PFAS, testing in recent years… Continue Reading 7 Common Food-Contact Packages Found with PFAS: sources in the supply chain, realistic health risks, evolving regulations, and what consumers can do right now to avoid exposure

  The Past, Present, and Future of PFAS (2026): Two Decades from a Small-Town Lawsuit to Global Standards2025-09-21
  A Brook of Foam: From “Dead Cattle” to the Global Unmasking of PFAS In 1998, livestock farmer Wilbur (Earl) Tennant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, stared at the white foam bubbling up in a creek by his pasture—and at his cattle dying suddenly with ulcerated organs. He filmed the evidence and mailed the tape to a lawyer he’d never met—Robert Bilott (Link). Bilott traced the source upstream to DuPont’s Washington Works… Continue Reading The Past, Present, and Future of PFAS (2026): Two Decades from a Small-Town Lawsuit to Global Standards
