Croda Beauty Actives: PFAS-free peptides 

"Our company is already proud to offer PFAS-free peptides. By eliminating substances like TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) from our peptide synthesis process, we are prioritizing both consumer safety and sustainability. Ahead of regulatory developments, we remain committed to providing innovative solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and efficacy."says Croda Beauty Actives.

Per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS), also known as "eternal pollutants", are a group of over 10,000 synthetic compounds used in various products, including cosmetics, for their water- and grease-resistant properties. These substances give rise to major environmental and health concerns due to their persistence in nature and their potential toxicity.

In Europe, several PFASs are subject to restrictions under Reach, and 14 PFASs are already banned from use in cosmetics due to their carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity. The European Chemicals Agency (Echa) is currently proposing a general restriction on PFASs. In the USA, some states have banned cosmetics containing intentionally added PFASs.

Croda Beauty Actives' Biopeptide CL, Maxi-Lip, Bio-Bustyl PH, Matrixyl Synthe 6, Volulip, Silverfree, Biopeptide EL, Dermaxyl, Calmosensine and Idealift peptides are already TFA-free. Others will gradually be added to this list over the coming months, to achieve PFAS-free status for the entire Croda Beauty Actives peptide range by the end of 2026.
