Shiva is Suddhasattva Swaroopa - Brahma Vaivarta Purana
Interestingly here, both Hari and Hara are said to be sattvika, while
Brahma is said to be raajasa.
But the ignorant, the foolish, say that Lord Shiva, the Supreme Vaishnava,
is Taamasa:

राजसश्च स्वयं ब्रह्मा शिवो विष्णुश्च सात्त्विकौ ।। 1.8.२० ।।
गोलोकनाथः कृष्णश्च निर्गुणः प्रकृतेः परः ।।
परमज्ञानिनो मूर्खा वदन्ति  तामसं शिवम् ।। २१ ।।
शुद्धसत्त्वस्वरूपं च निर्मलं वैष्णवाग्रणीम् ।।
