The Truth About “Forever Chemicals” (PFAs) & Why They’ll Never Touch MG Naturals Products

At MG Naturals, we’re all aboutpure, safe, and truly natural beauty. But every now and then, a big ugly topic pops up in the makeup world that we justhave to talk about. Today, we’re tackling one of the worst offenders —PFAs, also known as “forever chemicals.”

Let’s break down what they are, why they’re bad news, and why they’llnever find their way into anything we make.

What Exactly Are PFAs?

PFAs (short forper- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of man-made chemicals that don’t break down in the environment — or in your body — for avery, very long time. That’s why they’ve earned the nicknameforever chemicals.

These chemicals were originally designed to make productswaterproof, stain-resistant, and long-lasting. Sounds useful, right? Unfortunately, what’s “useful” for a raincoat or a non-stick pan isn’t necessarily safe for your skin or your health.

Why PFAs Are Bad for You (and the Planet)

The scary part? PFAs don’t just disappear. They build up in our bodies over time, and studies have linked them to:

  • Hormone disruption
  • Immune system issues
  • Potential links to cancer
  • Reproductive and developmental concerns

And because they’re so long-lasting, they also build up in our soil, water, and wildlife — affecting entire ecosystems.

Where You’ll Find PFAs in Makeup

Sadly, PFAs are surprisingly common in cosmetics — especially in:

  • Waterproof mascara & eyeliner
  • Long-wear lipstick
  • Full-coverage foundations
  • Primers & powders claiming “blur” or “smooth” effects

PFAs can give makeup that “perfect” silky glide or bulletproof wear, but at a serious health cost. And often, they’re not even listed as “PFA” on the label — they hide behind ingredient names likePTFE, perfluorooctyl, or polyperfluoromethylisopropyl ether.

Why We Never, Ever Use PFAs

At MG Naturals, our philosophy is simple:

If an ingredient isn’t safe for your skinand the planet, it’s not going in our products — end of story.

We believe makeup should benourishing, breathable, and toxin-free. You’ll never have to worry about “forever chemicals” lurking in your foundation or lipstick because our formulas are 100% free from PFAs, silicones, parabens, and other harmful synthetics.

Instead, we use pure, plant-based ingredients that care for your skin while making you look and feel amazing — without compromising your health now or in the future.

💚Bottom line: PFAs have no place in clean beauty. We’re here to prove you don’t need harsh chemicals for makeup that performs beautifully.
