Is Your Eyelash Glue Really Safe? What You Should Know About Adhesive Eyelash Glue

When fake eyelashes are applied every day, they are as essential a part of our beauty routine as subtle everyday looks to full glam styles. Your lashes are as beautiful as the adhesive holding them on. But are they really safe to be used on your eyes? Or maybe you don’t even know what it is in the first place.

So here’s the burning issue:

Is lash glue really safe for your eye?

You ever wondered what’s in it?

If you’re a beauty professional or a lash beginner, you have come to the right place with this blog that will take you through everything about eyelash adhesives:

✔ What’s inside them

✔ How the glue tech has changed

✔ The actual risks to your eyes

✔ What the market is saying to us

✔ And how Swaniya is going to make the lash glue safer, smarter and more user-friendly.

Here we go.

1. Let’s Talk About Your Eyes: Why Adhesive Glue Safety Matters

Here’s the deal: the skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your face. Which means it absorbs product the easiest —- and reacts more intensely to irritation.

Your lash adhesive might be doing more than just holding those lashes if it contains unfriendly chemicals, for instance; reddening or causing itching around the eyelids. Well, mild to severe allergic reactions do develop; watering and stinging of your eyes; and damage to your natural lash line

According to dermatologists, the skin around the eye is one of the most reactive sites for cosmetic-related allergic reactions. Still, many people do not realize that it could be their lash glue.

2. Ingredient Breakdown: What’s Really in Eyelash Adhesive?

So, here are the ingredients in lash glue we ‘adhesive fanatics’ love to use—because all glues truly are not created equal.

Cyanoacrylate (fast-drying adhesive)

Only the pro-grade lash adhesives boast this ingredient

Instant bond; quick drying

Drawback: possible to produce harsh effects when it comes into contact with sensitive skin or eyes especially in poorly ventilated spaces

Latex

This gives the glue a little flexibility so you can still blink

Problem is, lots of people are allergic to latex but have no idea

The prevalence of latex-based glues in the market has since gone down because of this issue

Formaldehyde (or residue)

 Sometimes used in low-cost glues as a preservative. Banned or heavily regulated in many countries due to health concerns. May be listed as “formaldehyde-releasing agents” rather than outright formaldehyde. Bonus: Fragrance, parabens or unknown alcohols. These are often hidden irritants and serve no real adhesive function. It just makes more sense to pick up fragrace-free, clean formulations

3. The Evolution of Eyelash Glue Technology: From Harsh to Healthy

Eyelash adhesive has come a long way. Let’s take a quick peek at how far we’ve come – and why you should be paying attention to what generation your glue belongs to.

 1st Gen: The Ugly Industrial Type

Pretty much “superglue” but adapted for lashes

Held well but with harsh fumes and harsh chemicals

Now generally considered unsuitable and inappropriate for regular cosmetic use

2nd Gen: The Latex-Based Formulas

Much flexibility in removal

Not quite ideal if the user is of the latex-sensitive type

Faster dry time, stronger hold

  Less fumes overall but some might still not be suitable for the very sensitive

Next Generations: Sensitive and Clean Beauty Glues

No latex, no formaldehyde and often no fragrance

That would especially benefit users with sensitive skin or shriveled dry eyes and those who put on lashes on a daily basis

Instead there are now brand names like Swaniya which offer products that are safe with gentle adhesives but also with long wear time and quick-dry tech
