Fenty Beauty

San Francisco, CaliforniaFounded 2017
Safety Score4.6/10Concerning

Fenty Beauty was launched in 2017 by Robyn Rihanna Fenty in partnership with LVMH's Kendo Brands division. The brand made immediate waves by launching with 40 foundation shades (later expanded to 50), setting a new standard for shade inclusivity in the beauty industry. Fenty Beauty's lip products include Gloss Bomb (one of the best-selling lip glosses ever), Stunna Lip Paint, and various lip balms. While the brand's inclusivity message resonated globally, Fenty Beauty products contain standard cosmetic ingredients including synthetic dyes, petroleum derivatives, phenoxyethanol, and fragrances. The brand's massive cultural influence means its ingredient standards set expectations for a new generation of beauty consumers.

Dimethicone

A silicone-based polymer widely used in cosmetics and skincare for its smoothing, water-repellent properties. Not toxic in itself, but creates a synthetic barrier that can trap impurities, clog pores, and is not biodegradable.

Phenoxyethanol

A glycol ether used as a preservative in cosmetics, often marketed as a 'safer' alternative to parabens. At regulated concentrations (up to 1%), it is generally well tolerated, but higher concentrations can cause irritation and are toxic to infants.

Polybutene

A synthetic polymer derived from petroleum, used as a thickener, binder, and viscosity-increasing agent in lip glosses, lipsticks, and other cosmetics. Polybutene has low direct toxicity but is a petroleum-derived synthetic with environmental persistence concerns.
