Question
I want to mix Long-Lash™ with water for an eye-safe formulation. How can I preserve the formula, and do I need to adjust the texture for better usability?
Answer
Based on the staff's recommendation, when mixing Long-Lash™ with water for an eye-safe formulation, you can use 1,2-Hexanediol at 3%. This ingredient is gentle and allows the product to be technically "preservative-free".
However, mixing Long-Lash™ with water alone is not recommended due to usability issues. The staff suggests adding a thickener like Pro Polymer at 0.5% to create a more manageable gel texture.
