💬 Let’s Talk Lash Glue, Safety & The Real Tea
So recently, there was a post in a big lash forum (which mysteriously got deleted 🙄) where someone brushed off concerns about UK-manufactured lash adhesives and accused others of “scaremongering.” The lash artist who brought up their concerns was blocked, and just like that—poof—the conversation was gone.
But guess what? We’re not here to stay quiet.
As lash artists and suppliers who actually care, we need to keep these conversations alive, because client safety is not up for debate.
🚫 "BS" or Just Business Ethics?
Let’s be honest: calling discussions about safety "BS" doesn’t just silence lash artists—it disrespects every single client sitting in your lash bed. There are suppliers (like us!) who go above and beyond to ensure that what's in your glue bottle is actually safe to use on someone’s eyes.
We’re talking distilled, stabilised, cosmetic-grade formulations—not cheap, unregulated imports thrown together with zero oversight.
💸 “But it’s more expensive…”
Yep, it is. And for good reason.
Proper lash adhesives cost more because they’ve gone through:
-
Cosmetic-level distillation processes
-
Safety & stability testing
-
EU/UK and MoCRA-compliant manufacturing standards
-
Transparent ingredient sourcing from trusted labs
Your glue isn't just a product—it's a health decision for every single person lying on your lash bed. That price difference? It’s the cost of peace of mind.
🧪 What's Really Happening with Reactions?
You know those reactions we’re seeing more of lately? The watery eyes, the red lids, the random sensitivities out of nowhere? That’s not just “how it is.” That’s often down to lower-quality products creeping into our industry under the radar because the current regulation system has grey areas.
Just because something is “UK compliant” doesn’t mean it’s been through cosmetic testing. It could just mean someone filled in a form. 📄✅
That’s not good enough.
