Formulation Deep Dive

Glow For It Lash Growth Serum is formulated as a high-performance water-based treatment designed to enhance eyelash density and longevity. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of humectants, including Pentylene Glycol, Glycerin, and Butylene Glycol, to ensure deep follicular penetration of actives while maintaining localized hydration. The formulation strategy centers on a synergistic blend of Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 to stimulate keratin production and anchor the hair follicle, further supported by Biotin and Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract to improve hair strength and reduce shedding. Additional botanical support is provided by Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) and Serenoa Serrulata (Saw Palmetto) Fruit Extract to protect the ocular area from oxidative stress. The system is stabilized with a buffering complex of Disodium Phosphate and Citric Acid, utilizing a broad-spectrum preservative blend of Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, and Benzoic Acid to ensure long-term microbial stability in a high-moisture environment.

Sodium Benzoate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations from yeast, mold, and bacterial spoilage. Its activity is pH-dependent and strongest in acidic systems (optimal below roughly pH 5), so it is used in low-pH products and frequently paired with potassium sorbate for broader, more robust preservation.

Chelating Agent Exfoliant
Potassium Sorbate GOOD
Functions as a preservative (antimicrobial), protecting water-containing formulations primarily against yeasts and molds, with weaker activity against bacteria.
