Eyelash Serum Formulation with Long-Lash™

Yes, you can use Long-Lash™ as a key ingredient for formulating an eyelash growth serum. Long-Lash™ contains a blend of Growth Complex Peptides, specifically Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 and Copper Tripeptide-1. These peptides work by stimulating keratin genes, which are crucial for eyelash growth, leading to longer and denser lashes.

Based on studies, results can start to be seen within 2 weeks and become more noticeable after 6 weeks of continuous use. It is important to apply the serum to the base of the eyelashes, not just the lashes themselves.

One of the key advantages of Long-Lash™ is its high safety profile. It does not contain drug ingredients like Prostaglandin (found in products like Latisse), which are known to cause side effects such as irritation, itching, allergic reactions, and potentially darkening of the iris area. Using peptides like those in Long-Lash™ is considered a safer approach for eyelash enhancement, aligning with the information provided regarding the safety of peptides compared to other substances.

While Long-Lash™ can be effective on its own, its description mentions that it can be used together with Pep®-Brow peptide (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3) to potentially increase efficiency. Additionally, our search found Pep®-235 (Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 1000ppm), another peptide specifically developed for enhancing eyelash appearance by stimulating keratin genes, which could also be considered for combination or as an alternative.

Formulation Notes for Long-Lash™:

• Mix in the water phase.
• Avoid heat during mixing.
• Do not include Disodium EDTA or any type of Chelating Agent in the formula, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the Copper Peptide component.
• Do not include AHA (such as Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Citric Acid) in the formula, as they are chelating agents and can also cause the Copper Peptide to lose effectiveness.
• Recommended usage rate is 5-10% (do not exceed 10% to avoid potential irritation).

In summary, Long-Lash™ is a safe and effective peptide blend for eyelash serums. While it can be used alone, combining it with other complementary peptides like Pep®-Brow or Pep®-235 could potentially enhance the growth and density results, providing a safe alternative to ingredients with known side effects.
