PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of chemical compounds that have been used in a wide variety of products for decades, including cosmetics and personal care products. These substances pose environmental and health risks because they persist in nature and accumulate within organisms over time.
PFAS are known as 'perpetual' pollutants, meaning they can take centuries to break down. Once released into ecosystems, they cause sustained harm to wildlife and plant life. Additionally, human exposure to PFAS presents serious health concerns, as these chemicals exhibit endocrine-disrupting and potentially carcinogenic properties.
Sandstone Scandinavia commits to environmental responsibility by excluding PFAS from all cosmetic formulations. By avoiding these chemicals in makeup, we ensure that you are not exposed to the harmful effects of PFAS — protecting both your health and the planet.
For individuals with allergies and sensitive skin, selecting appropriate makeup can be challenging due to common pigments and fragrances. Many seek 'natural' or organic products to minimize chemical exposure, but 'natural ingredients' claims don't guarantee allergy-friendliness — often the opposite applies.
Natural ingredients consist of plant-derived oils or extracts, including pigments, fragrances, and oils. Popular skincare plants like lemon, mint, rose, and geranium can trigger skin reactions. With natural ingredients, you have less control and may experience a higher risk of contamination.
Most allergic reactions stem from natural ingredients rather than synthetic chemicals. The 'organic' designation merely indicates organically-grown raw materials, not skin compatibility.
The most important thing is to look for the 'Allergy Certified' label. This certification indicates toxicologists have reviewed all ingredients and confirmed the absence of allergenic substances, providing maximum assurance regarding product safety.
Allergy Certified is an international certification created in Denmark. The certification requires companies to submit detailed ingredient information, including raw materials and their concentrations. Toxicologists and pharmacists then evaluate each component to identify potential allergens.
Beyond allergen assessment, the certification process includes screening for hormone-disrupting substances and carcinogenic materials. This comprehensive approach provides consumers with assurance regarding multiple safety categories.
An approval by Allergy Certified is the best guarantee that a product is completely safe to use, both in relation to allergies, hormone-disrupting, or potentially cancer-causing ingredients.
