Formulation Deep Dive

BOOST LAB's Lash and Brow Serum is formulated as a targeted, water-based aqueous treatment designed to optimize the hair growth cycle for both lashes and brows. The carrier system utilizes a blend of aqua, glycerin, and propanediol to ensure efficient delivery of actives into the follicles, while the inclusion of Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil and Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer provides a conditioning lipid barrier without heavy residue. The formulation's primary efficacy is driven by a synergistic peptide-botanical complex featuring Myristoyl Hexapeptide-17 and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-16 to stimulate keratin production, complemented by Trifolium Pratense (Clover)/Vigna Radiata (Mung Bean) Sprout Extract and Panax Ginseng Root Extract for scalp and follicle revitalization. Caffeine and Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract are incorporated to enhance microcirculation and metabolic activity at the root. The system is stabilized by Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 and Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, utilizing a preservative blend of sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate to ensure the long-term integrity of the nutrient-dense botanical extracts.

Potassium Sorbate GOOD

Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations primarily against yeasts and molds, with weaker activity against bacteria. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (effective below roughly pH 6, optimal near pH 4.4), so it is used in low-pH products and is commonly paired with a second preservative such as sodium benzoate for broad-spectrum coverage.
