Just like sensitive skin, delicate and sensitive eyes need products with gentle formulas to avoid irritation and discomfort.
Whether you wear contacts, have dry eyes or suffer from allergies, wearing eye makeup can cause further irritation and leave your eyes red, itchy and sore[1]. Choosing a hypoallergenic formula is the perfect way to still define, lengthen and enhance your lashes without using any harsh ingredients near your eyes.
Instead of irritating ingredients and fragrances, hypoallergenic formulas are often enriched with gentle pigments and conditioning extracts to treat your lashes when worn.
