Lash Teez®

It plays an important role in tissue hydration, lubrication and cellular function. Used as a moisturizer, hyaluronic acid results in increased smoothness, softening and decreased wrinkles without clogging of the pores. It offers an excellent environment for the growth of new cells and healing. It is extensively used by the cosmetic industry in anti-aging and moisturizing products as HA is very hydroscopic (absorbs and retains water). Hyaluronic acid can absorb over 1000 times its weight in water which helps plump up lashes and keeps them healthy.  

Studies have shown that hydrolyzed wheat protein improves the tensile properties of eyelashes, particularly as they were drying. In other words, it helps keep lashes elastic by controlling the rate of moisture loss from the hair. This helps prevent breakage. The reason why it can influence the mechanical properties of lashes is because it can penetrate the cortex as evidenced by fluorescence studies. And the more damaged the lash has, the easier hydrolyzed wheat protein penetrates into the lash hair. Hydrolyzed wheat protein is known to help improve lash flexibility, provide a smooth feel (silky feel), improved moisture and help maintain the natural structure of eyelashes. Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein also helps replenish lashes with cysteine and help prevent further weakening of the hair fiber. 

The product of the reaction of myristic acid and Pentapeptide 17, these bio-available lipo-oligopeptides have been clinically shown to stimulate keratin genes and eyelash follicle growth. 

It is known to significantly stimulate keratin genes: it can convince the cells to produce more keratin, the super important structural protein in hair, nails and the outermost layer of the skin. Most often you will meet Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 combined with Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 in eyelash growth products, as the two together can visibly increase eyelash length after two weeks.
