From the Pros at Posh Deluxe – Australia’s Trusted Lash Extension Supply Store
If you’re a lash artist, client safety isn’t just important—it’s everything. One of the most common questions we hear from both new artists and seasoned professionals is:
“Is lash glue safe?”
As a premium lash extension supplier, Posh Deluxe is committed to helping you understand exactly what goes into your products, how to use them safely, and how to build trust with your clients through top-tier tools and education.
Understanding Lash Glue Ingredients
Most lash adhesives used in the professional lash industry are cyanoacrylate-based. Cyanoacrylate is the key ingredient responsible for creating a fast, strong bond between the extension and the natural lash.
While this ingredient is safe when applied properly, it can cause issues if:
- Applied too close to the skin or directly onto the skin.
- Used in poorly ventilated areas
-
Or if the client has a known allergy
That’s why using high-quality, professional-grade adhesives—like from Posh Deluxe—is crucial for client safety and satisfaction.
It's also important to be aware that some low-quality or unregulated lash glues—often from unknown or overseas sources—may contain harmful or even illegal chemicals. These can include formaldehyde (either added or as a by-product of curing), latex, heavy metals like lead, and harsh solvents or phthalates. These ingredients can trigger serious allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or long-term sensitivity.
At Posh Deluxe, all our adhesives are rigorously tested to be formaldehyde-free, latex-free, and safe for professional use—so you and your clients can feel confident in every application.
What Makes a Lash Glue Safe?
As a lash supplier, our goal is to provide adhesives that strike the perfect balance between performance and safety. Here are the features to look for in a safe lash glue:
- Formaldehyde-free and latex-free
- Low-fume formulas for sensitive clients
- Fast curing time to minimise exposure
-
Long retention (without compromising on eye comfort)
At Posh Deluxe, our Bond Babe Adhesive is specifically formulated for professional use—with low irritation and high retention in mind.
Lash Glue Safety Tips for Lash Technicians
Even with the best adhesive, safety comes down to your technique and setup. Here are key tips every lash artist should follow:
✅ Use Proper Isolation
Never allow glue to touch the skin. Isolate each natural lash properly and place the extension 0.3–0.5 mm from the lash line.
✅ Maintain a Clean Workspace
Dust, oils, and humidity fluctuations can interfere with adhesive performance. Store your glue in a cool, dry space and replace opened bottles every 4–6 weeks.
✅ Ventilation Matters
Always lash in a well-ventilated space. This helps disperse fumes and ensures client and artist comfort.
✅ Perform Patch Tests
Always offer a patch test for new clients—especially those with allergies or sensitivities. It shows professionalism and protects your client (and your business).
What to Do if a Client Reacts to Lash Glue
Even with proper technique and top-tier products, allergic reactions can happen. If a client experiences redness, swelling, or itching, remove the lashes immediately using a NO GBL remover like our Premium Cream Remover. Advise the client to seek medical care if symptoms persist.
Final Thoughts: Is Lash Glue Safe?
Yes—when you use the right products and the right technique.
As a lash technician, using safe, high-quality adhesive not only protects your clients—it protects your brand and reputation.
