"Hi! My name is Julia Trigila in Scottsdale, Arizona on behalf of Expert Village. Why is it so important to know what lash extension and adhesive is being used. Eyelash extensions are a fun and safe alternative to mascara or false lashes, but consumers should follow some basic guidelines before getting eyelash extensions. Be sure the adhesive is United States pharmaceutical grade quality and approved for the use around eye area. Most lash adhesives produced from Asia are industrial quality adhesives that are not FDA approved cosmetic or medical purposes. Many black cyano acrylate's containing adhesives were originally formulated with the automotive industry in mind and can sometimes contain impurities that are not safe for use on humans. Before using eyelash extensions, ask to see the ingredient list on the bottle. Also, keep in mind that just because someone claims their adhesive is surgical quality or made in the U.S., or the bottle says it's a surgical adhesive, does not mean that it is made in the U.S. You can be sure that when getting your eyelash extensions from me, that you can be sure that you are getting the best product on the market, which is Novalash. The product should be manufactured in the United States. The ingredient list should read U.S.P. or U.S. pharmaceutical grade class 4. This means that the adhesive is pure medical quality surgical glue and is safe for the use on the eye area. "
