Does Revlon Use Microplastics?
The short answer
Nearly every Revlon product we could analyse listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer. Of the 12 Revlon products on Open Beauty Facts with a readable ingredient list, 11 listed at least one flagged synthetic polymer — 92%. The one that came up most was Parabens, in 9 of them.

What this is. Ingredient-label data from Open Beauty Facts (snapshot 2026-07-31), not laboratory testing. Coverage is crowdsourced, partial and Europe-weighted, so this is 12 of the 30 Revlon entries in that database, and US formulations often differ. A flagged ingredient is not automatically harmful — a gel thickener and a solid microbead are both synthetic polymers and are not the same risk.
