PFAS substance is listed as number 1 on the ingredient list
The product's ingredient list states that it contains PFAS. Do you still sell products that contain dangerous forever chemicals? 😠Translated from swedish

PFAS includes thousands of different substances that are divided into several different groups. What they have in common is that they are extremely difficult to break down in the environment. The largest documented source of PFAS release into nature is firefighting foam. When it comes to health, the use of cosmetic products is not assessed to pose any risk in itself, but it is mainly if one ingests PFAS, e.g. through locally contaminated water. As mentioned, this PFAS issue is super complex. If you want to learn more, there is really good information on the Chemical Inspectorate's website: kemi.se/hallbarhet/amnen-och-material/pfas Just regarding Hydrofluorocarbon 152a that you are referring to, it is usually listed as a fluorinated greenhouse gas, not as a PFAS substance. However, it is a greenhouse gas and can contribute to climate change, which is another environmental concern 🤷♀️ Furthermore, we closely follow the developments related to PFAS and do not sell products with documented prohibited content 🙏
