Reporting PFA
Can percentage of PFA (Polyfluoroalkyl substances) in a raw material be confirmed by the Prop 65 statement or TDS statements alone? I have had vendors write a separate statement as well as give me a TDS which included the Prop 65 statement. California passed a law this year banning PFA in cosmetics and now a few clients are asking for verification. What is the best way.

@Stanley, very doubtful PFA would show up as an incidental “cat & dog” ancillary compound in many cosmetic ingredients, given the unique chemistry, so I’d have no problem just saying “No” in an affadavit. But if these peeps need validation, then your upstream ingredient suppliers will need to provide these, just as they have in the past for bovine products, REACH approvals, etc., etc.

In recent memory there were several product taken of the shelves for having PFAs in the formulation. I believe it was a scrub product. I have been asked the same thing from my clients. So a TDS or Prop 65 statement would be sufficient?
