A nourishing, strengthening mascara formulated with certified organic botanicals, probiotic fermentation, and plant waxes to support lash health while delivering a truly low-tox, sensitive-eye friendly formula.

Distilled water, non-GMO sorbitol (corn-derived), non-GMO probiotic lactobacillus (coconut-derived), all-natural ECOCERT Helianthus annuus (sunflower) wax, all-natural cetyl alcohol NF, certified organic Euphrasia officinalis (eyebright) extract, certified organic Arctium lappa (burdock) root, certified organic Symphytum officinale extract, certified organic Copernicia cerifera (carnauba) wax, certified organic squalane oil, organic castor oil, organic lecithin, organic flax glycerine, plant cellulose (hydroxyethylcellulose).
(+/- all-natural iron oxides & activated coconut charcoal)

Certifications / 3rd-Party Standards:

  • Certified Organic Ingredients

  • ECOCERT Certified Sunflower Wax

  • Non-GMO Fermentation Components

These standards confirm organic sourcing, natural processing, and the integrity of plant-based ingredients.

What I like:

  • EWG Rating: 1 — very low hazard, making this one of the cleanest mascara options available.

  • This formula uses probiotic Lactobacillus fermentation as a natural preservation system, rather than harsh synthetic preservatives.

  • Certified organic eyebright, burdock, and comfrey are included 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.

  • ECOCERT sunflower wax and organic carnauba wax provide plant-based structure and gentle hold without relying on petroleum waxes.

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

  • The ingredient profile is entirely free from petroleum-derived ingredients and synthetic fragrance.

  • This is a clean option for sensitive eyes and those prioritizing ultra-low-tox formulations.

Things to keep in mind:

  • This formula uses a very natural, soft wax system, so the wear time may feel lighter than that of conventional long-wear mascaras.

  • This specific applicator may cause more clumping and may not apply as smoothly as a traditional brush.

  • The tester version uses a brush applicator that performs much better and applies more evenly than the standard tube.

  • This is not a waterproof mascara, so it may not hold up to heavy moisture or sweating.

  • As with all mascaras, regular replacement is essential to reduce the risk of eye irritation.

Pregnancy / Breastfeeding Notes:

  • Certified organic botanicals (eyebright, burdock, comfrey), organic castor oil, organic squalane, sunflower wax, carnauba wax, lecithin, flax-based glycerine, and plant cellulose are considered low risk and safe for topical cosmetic use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

  • Probiotic lactobacillus is used as a fermentation-based preservation system and is not associated with reproductive or developmental toxicity in topical cosmetic use.

  • Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, not a drying alcohol, and is considered pregnancy-compatible.

  • This formula contains no retinoids, chemical preservatives of concern, PFAS, endocrine-disrupting preservatives, or petroleum ingredients.

  • Because this is a mascara (not a loose powder), inhalation exposure is minimal.

  • As always, patch testing is recommended, especially during pregnancy and postpartum, when eye sensitivity can increase.
