Formulation Deep Dive

RapidLash® Eyelash Enhancing Serum by RapidLash is formulated as a high-performance aqueous lash treatment designed to support follicular health and hair resilience. The carrier system utilizes a blend of water, butylene glycol, and hydroxyethylcellulose to create a lightweight, viscous serum that ensures precise application and optimal contact time with the lash line. The active strategy features a sophisticated peptide complex including octapeptide-2, copper tripeptide-1, and sh-polypeptide-1, which work synergistically with biotin and panthenol (Vitamin B5) to strengthen the hair shaft and improve the appearance of lash density. Additionally, isopropyl cloprostenate, a prostaglandin analogue, is incorporated to target the growth phase of the lash cycle, while sodium hyaluronate and allantoin provide essential hydration and soothing properties to the delicate eye area. The formulation is stabilized through a buffered system of sodium phosphate and disodium phosphate, utilizing a multi-functional preservative blend of phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, and sorbic acid to ensure microbiological stability.
