France Becomes First EU Country to Ban PFAS in Cosmetics – What This Means for Clean Beauty
In a groundbreaking move for the clean beauty industry, France has officially become the first country in the European Union to ban PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in cosmetics, effective from January 1, 2026. This long-awaited legislation is a huge win for conscious consumers and the planet – and here at True Organic of Sweden, we wholeheartedly support this progressive step.
PFAS chemicals, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are known for their long-lasting nature and have been linked to serious health and environmental concerns. Commonly found in waterproof or long-wear cosmetics, PFAS have no place in products we apply to our skin daily.
What Are PFAS and Why Are They Harmful?
PFAS are synthetic chemicals that don’t break down easily in nature or the human body. Over time, they can accumulate and have been associated with hormonal disruption, immune system effects, and even certain cancers. Despite these risks, PFAS have been used in beauty products to improve texture, spread ability, and wear time.
Thankfully, countries like France are taking action – and we hope the rest of Europe will soon follow.
