Cosmetics-validated Total Fluorine screening and LC-MS/MS testing with defensible results that retailers and regulators can trust.
ALS delivers cosmetics-validated PFAS testing built for the challenges of mascaras, lipsticks, sunscreens, and other complex formulations. This service provides the most defensible verification of no-added PFAS, giving brands results that hold up with retailers and regulators.
Our approach combines:
This validation sets the benchmark for PFAS testing, giving brands confidence and defensible results. ALS’ validated methods deliver submission-ready outputs and capture PFAS classes that environmental tests miss, such as PAPs, FTOHs, and polymeric PFAS.

EPA 1633 and similar methods were designed for water and soil. They miss PFAS classes common in cosmetics, leading to false negatives.
TF broadly detects fluorinated material. If TF shows a signal, ALS can run cosmetics-validated LC-MS/MS targeted analysis to identify PFAS and guide reformulation.
Currently, regulators and retailers frame compliance as “no-added PFAS.” Some industries use thresholds like 100 ppb or 50 ppm TF. Cosmetics-specific standards are still evolving.
Yes. ALS outputs are structured for MoCRA safety substantiation and EU SCCS documentation, making them suitable for global submissions.
PFAS are common in mascaras, lipsticks, sunscreens, and other products that use film formers, fluorinated oils, or texturizers. Testing helps reduce compliance risk and avoid late-stage reformulation.
