Warehouse Adhesive vs. Fresh Adhesive

Does it matter where you get your eyelash extension adhesive? 

Eyelash extension adhesive is sold on a lot of websites from a lot of different people. Eyelash extension adhesive can be purchased on all the major retail websites to include eBay and Amazon. The problem is that you don’t know where that adhesive has been. How old is the adhesive? How the adhesive been transported? Where was it manufactured? How was it stored? How many companies (middle men) has the adhesive been through?

Eyelash extension adhesive is very temperamental. Many factors affect adhesive quality and longevity. Some of these factors are the age of the adhesive.

Eyelash extension adhesive is not glue. Eyelash extension adhesive is a specialized liquid plastic. This is why regular “glue” lasts years. Unopened eyelash extension adhesive, in the very best conditions usually lasts about 6 months. Once the adhesive bottle is opened it lasts between 30-60 days depending upon the temperature, the humidity, and adhesive care. So, once eyelash extension adhesive is manufactured the clock is ticking.

Eyelash extension adhesive is expensive! We get it. This is partially due to the cost of developing the adhesive but it is also due to the pain staking effort it takes to keep eyelash extension adhesive in a consistent cool environment, and transporting it as quick as possible. So, once eyelash extension adhesive is manufactured most eyelash extension companies will keep the adhesive as long as they need to. Did you know that most adhesive sits in a warehouse for months! This is because it is cheaper to manufacture eyelash extension adhesive in mass quantities. When I say mass, I mean tens of thousands of bottles at a time. These thousands of adhesive bottles then just sit in a hot warehouse and wait to be shipped out. There is no temperature control. There are no time controls. There are no humidity controls. It just sits.

Most eyelash extension adhesive goes through 2-5 “middle men”. This means that when you get your eyelash extension adhesive it has been bought and resold to 2-5 companies/people. The more people that have had contact with eyelash extension adhesive the worse off the adhesive is. This eyelash extension adhesive will not have been properly taken care of and is older.

When Brand X orders their adhesive, this adhesive that has just been sitting in a warehouse is then shipped to Brand X through the slowest way possible. Why, because it’s cheaper. So, this adhesive that has been just sitting in a hot warehouse is now sitting in a hot boat, or truck, taking its time getting to Brand X. This slow shipping method is taking time away from the life of the adhesive. Once Brand X gets this adhesive, they may or may not take proper care of the adhesive. Adhesive needs to be stored in a constant cool temperature with humidity regulation. This adhesive should expire in a very short time but Brand X has spent money on this adhesive. Once this adhesive reaches its expiration date Brand X should throw away this adhesive, but they don’t. This is because they do not want to lose money. So, when Lash Artists order from Brand X they are getting old warehouse adhesive that has not been taken care of properly.

Why should you care? 

Often we hear a Lash Artist say they buy eyelash extension adhesive from an unknown Brand X and they feel like the adhesive is “good enough”. The problem is that this Lash Artist does not know that there is something so much better out there. Poor adhesive reduces the amount of time eyelash extensions hold on to the natural eyelash. Poor adhesive has more fumes causing the clients eyes to tear up. Poor adhesive gives clients a worse experience.
