How it works

The mascara is formulated to add volume, curl, and length to eyelashes. Stearic acid serves as a thickener, providing structure to the formulation. A blend of acrylates and ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer acts as a film-former, helping to coat lashes evenly. Sunflower seed wax and carnauba wax both act as thickening agents, contributing to the mascara's texture and staying power. C10-18 triglycerides serve as emollients, making the product smooth for application. Acacia senegal gum helps bind ingredients together, while glyceryl stearate aids in emulsifying the formula. Vegan collagen acts as a conditioning agent, helping to maintain lash appearance.
