Safe Lash Adhesive is the best sensitive lash glue for clients who experience allergies or reactions to cyanoacrylate (the active ingredient in all lash adhesives).
It contains Ethyl cyanoacrylate, a more gentle form of cyanoacrylate, resulting in a lower rate of reaction and usually much less severe symptoms in people who react to regular lash adhesives.
It does have a slower drying time (8-10 seconds), and retention isn’t as good as our regular lash adhesives. However, it’s the perfect option for clients who experience discomfort during lash appointments.
It can also be mixed with your regular lash adhesive to find a better balance between retention, speed, and severity of reactions. To do so, simply dispense one glue dot on top of the other and mix with a toothpick. - The fastest drying glue in our range is our Rapid Lash Adhesive with a 0.5-second drying time. It's recommended for advanced lash artists with a fast action.
- We have fresh adhesives produced every month so the shelf life is at least 6 months from purchase date. Once opened our adhesives should be replaced in around 4 weeks as performance will start to degrade rapidly after this point.

Before opening, adhesives can be stored in the fridge (or even the freezer) to extend shelf life. Storing at below 13°C slows down the chemical reaction that causes cyanoacrylate-based adhesives to age.
Once opened, however, they should be stored upright in a cool, dark place, out of direct sunlight, and away from primers or any alcohol-based products, as these can cause the adhesive to dry out. For best results, always wipe down the nozzle after use and replace the cap tightly.
Never store adhesives in the fridge after opening as they will be at risk of being exposed to moisture. The only time storing in the fridge is recommended after opening is if you are concerned your adhesive will be exposed to temperatures above 35°C for extended periods. In this case, we highly recommend first placing the adhesive in an airtight container. - This differs from adhesive to adhesive but you can refer to the chart above and you will also find the recommended humidity and temperature ranges written on the bottle and the product page for each adhesive.
