Certifications & Standards

  • Certified organic ingredients (where noted)

  • ECOCERT-certified sunflower wax

  • Non-GMO fermentation components

  • Cruelty-free (brand stated)

These standards reflect organic sourcing, natural processing, and plant-based ingredient choices.

What I Like

  • EWG Rating: 1 — very low hazard based on entering the ingredient list into the EWG Skin Deep Analyzer.

  • Uses probiotic Lactobacillus fermentation as part of the preservation system instead of more conventional synthetic preservatives.

  • Includes certified organic eyebright, burdock, and comfrey to help support lash health and soothe the delicate eye area.

  • Certified organic squalane and organic castor oil help condition, strengthen, and protect lashes from dryness and brittleness.

  • Sunflower and carnauba waxes provide plant-based structure and hold instead of petroleum-derived waxes.

  • Pigment comes from iron oxides and activated coconut charcoal, not synthetic dyes.

  • Based on the listed ingredients, this is a very clean option worth considering for sensitive eyes and low-tox routines.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • The natural wax system creates a softer, more flexible wear compared to conventional long-wear or waterproof mascaras.

  • The standard applicator may cause more clumping than a traditional brush; many people find performance improves significantly with a classic spoolie-style brush (such as the tester wand).

  • This mascara is not waterproof and may smudge with heavy moisture, crying, or intense workouts.

  • As with all mascaras, replacing the tube regularly is important to minimize the risk of eye irritation or contamination.

Sensitive Skin & Pregnancy Considerations

The botanicals and base ingredients in this formula — including eyebright, burdock, comfrey extract, castor oil, squalane, sunflower wax, carnauba wax, lecithin, flax-derived glycerine, and plant cellulose — are generally considered low risk for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding when applied along the lash line.

Probiotic Lactobacillus is used here as part of a fermentation-based preservation system and is not associated with reproductive or developmental toxicity in topical use. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol (different from drying alcohols) and is widely considered pregnancy-compatible in skincare and makeup.
