Mascara is typically made of a combination of ingredients that broadly fall under the categories of waxes, oils, pigments, emollients, and preservatives. Some of the most common ingredients found in mascaras include beeswax, lanolin, glycerin, dimethicone copolyol, and nylon, rayon, and silk microfibers. The ingredients labels of mascaras tend to be hard to decipher, most often containing a plethora of chemical names. However, some mascaras are made with clean ingredients that are gentle on the skin and lashes. For example, Boom Bright by BOOM! by Cindy Joseph is a pro-age mascara designed for women over 50. It lengthens, separates, and defines with gentle, moisturizing ingredients. The mascara is hypoallergenic, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, GMO-free, and cruelty-free. The mascara has a neutral pH, making it gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes. The tapered wand easily reaches every lash, and the mascara does not clump or flake.
Positive aspects of mascara products include lengthening, separating, and defining lashes, giving a beautiful curl, and providing a "cat-eye" effect. Mascara can also be made with clean ingredients that are gentle on the skin and lashes. Negative aspects of mascara products include the potential for clumping, flaking, and irritation of the eyes. Some mascaras may contain ingredients that are not safe for sensitive eyes or that can dry out the skin or lashes. It is important to choose a mascara that is suitable for your skin type and eye sensitivity.
