Formulation Deep Dive
Blinc's Lash & Brow Enhancer Serum is formulated as a high-performance, water-based treatment designed to optimize follicular health and hair density. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated humectant blend of propanediol, glycerin, and sodium PCA to facilitate the delivery of actives while maintaining a lightweight, non-viscous texture suitable for the delicate eye area. The performance strategy relies on a synergistic complex of Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 to support structural protein synthesis, further enhanced by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Isopropyl Cloprostenate to stimulate the growth cycle. The formula is stabilized with a combination of xanthan gum and sodium carboxymethyl starch, utilizing a robust preservation system of phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, and sodium benzoate to ensure the long-term integrity of the botanical extracts and peptide chains.
