In 2019 we decided to add a new Botanical range of cleansers and discovered a pH corrective formulation developed by Cliff and Leslie Ann Altree, premier eyelash extension trainers and product developers based in Cape Town, South Africa.
These formulations provide variants that account for individual differences in skin and lash type. Skincare is never a one size fits all, the eye area in particular reacts to certain ingredients differently depending on numerous factors.
Our advanced formulation uses only responsibly sourced botanicals, high-end cruelty-free ingredients and ISO approved manufacturing standards. These products are also EU certified.
