washproof
Won't fade washing
Washproof describes something that can withstand washing without being damaged, fading, or losing its effectiveness.
The term appears most often with fabrics, dyes, and cosmetics like mascara that claim to survive water exposure or laundering.
This washproof mascara stayed put through my entire workout.
It overlaps with waterproof but emphasizes durability through the washing process rather than simple water resistance.
