Can You Use Micellar Water On Lash Extensions?
If you’ve got lash extensions, you already know keeping them clean is key to making them last. So, can you use micellar water to do the job? The answer is yes — but only if you’re using the right kind. Not all micellar waters are created equal, especially when it comes to lash extensions. Let’s break it down and talk about why our new product, PURE, is the best choice for lash care.
Can I Clean Lash Extensions With Micellar Water?
The short answer is no. Micellar water by itself is not a cleaning agent, although it could be a great pairing before using a lash cleanser. Micellar water is made up of tiny cleansing molecules called micelles. These micelles are like little magnets that grab onto dirt, oil, and makeup, lifting it away without harsh scrubbing. It’s great for sensitive skin and gentle enough for daily use. It is important to use a cleaning agent on your lashes, otherwise it’s an identical result if you were to use a makeup removing wipe without ever washing your face.
Why PURE Lash Cleanser Is Better Than Micellar Water
While water-based micellar water is safe, why settle for just safe? We’re excited to introduce PURE, our brand-new lash extension cleanser made specifically for that. It’s not just micellar technology — it’s micellar foam that goes above and beyond. PURE gives you the result of two products, in one!
- Formulated by a pharmaceutical compounding scientist, PURE Lash Soap was created by one of the best in the field, so you know it’s made with care and expertise.
- Made in the USA: We’re proud to say PURE is made right here in the U.S., with premium ingredients designed for ultimate lash care.
- No Harsh Chemicals: PURE is free from sulfates, parabens, alcohol, and PEG, so no burning or irritation around your eyes. It’s as gentle as it gets.
What Makes PURE Lash Extension Shampoo Stand Out?
PURE leverages micellar technology to create microbubbles as the main purifying agent, which offers all of the benefits of micelles but with a foamy consistency that helps sustain contact. It then uses safe and sensitive ingredients to cleanse the skin once the makeup and daily build up has been removed for a deeper clean. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the key ingredients that make PURE special:
- Methylpropanediol: Helps retain moisture and boosts the performance of the other ingredients.
- Trehalose: A powerhouse ingredient that protects skin membranes and keeps moisture locked in.
- Polyquaternium: A gentle skin conditioner that leaves your skin feeling soft without irritation.
- No Irritating Ingredients: We intentionally left out dyes, sulfates, parabens, and alcohol — common culprits that cause burning or/and can disrupt your lash adhesive.
How To Use PURE Lash Extension Soap
Using PURE is simple and super effective. Just pump a little foam onto a clean makeup brush or applicator, gently swipe along your lash line, and rinse with cool water. The foam will lift away any makeup or buildup while keeping your lashes intact and fresh.
Why Clean Lashes Matter
Clean lashes aren’t just about looking good—they help your natural lashes stay healthy. Dirt, oil, and makeup can interfere with the adhesive, cause premature shedding, and even lead to irritation or infections. A product like PURE ensures your lashes stay clean without compromising the bond, meaning you can go longer between fills and enjoy your lashes looking their best.
So, while water-based micellar water is an option, PURE is specifically designed to give your lashes the deep clean they need without any risk. Why settle when you can give your lashes the best?
Try PURE today and see why it’s the best lash cleanser on the market. Your lashes (and your clients!) will thank you.
