What Are Lash Adhesives?

Lash adhesives are specialized glues designed to bond false lashes to your natural lash line. They vary in formulation depending on the desired hold, dry time, and comfort level.

Types of Lash Adhesives

Different types of adhesives offer different benefits depending on your sensitivity and style preference.

Latex-Based Adhesives

Known for strong, flexible hold but not ideal for those prone to irritation.

Latex-Free Adhesives

Preferred for sensitive eyes as they eliminate latex proteins, a common irritant. Our Aloe-Infused Lash Adhesive is latex-free, providing long-lasting comfort and an easy removal experience.

Clear vs. Dark Adhesives

Clear adhesives dry invisible for a natural finish, while dark versions blend seamlessly with eyeliner or bold lash looks. Choose based on your makeup style and eye sensitivity.

Why Do Sensitive Eyes React to Adhesives?

Sensitive eyes often respond to harsh ingredients like formaldehyde, strong fragrances, or chemical preservatives. Reactions can include redness, tearing, or mild swelling.

To reduce this risk, select adhesives with plant-based or soothing components; like aloe, chamomile, or glycerin that calm and protect the lash line.

How to Choose the Right Adhesive for Sensitive Eyes

Look for Gentle Formulas

Seek adhesives described as low chemical, fragrance-free, or dermatologist tested. These are formulated to limit irritation while maintaining strong adhesion.

Check the Ingredients

Avoid harsh preservatives and synthetic scents. Instead, look for natural soothing ingredients like aloe vera and water-based carriers.

Test Before Use

Always patch test new products on your wrist or behind the ear before applying to your eyes. Wait 24 hours to ensure your skin stays calm.

Tips for Caring for Your Lashes

  • Remove Gently: Use oil-free removers to dissolve lash adhesive without tugging.

  • Clean Regularly: Keep your lashes and lash line clean to avoid buildup or irritation.

  • Avoid Excessive Moisture: Steam and sweat can weaken adhesive bonds and shorten lash life.

Regular cleaning also preserves reusable lashes, helping them maintain their natural shape and softness.
