Lubrizol, a global leader in specialty ingredients, has announced the complete elimination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)—from its peptide synthesis process. This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to advancing sustainable innovation and reducing environmental impact across its operations.  

By removing PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment, Lubrizol strengthens its position as a responsible partner to the beauty, health, and personal care industries. The move aligns with growing regulatory and consumer demand for cleaner, safer, and more eco-conscious ingredient technologies, setting a new benchmark for ethical sourcing and sustainable formulation practices.
