If your eyes are stinging, red, or swollen after applying false lashes, you’re not alone—and your lash glue is likely to blame.
The truth is, traditional lash adhesives contain harsh chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions, especially with repeated use.
One of the biggest culprits? A compound called cyanoacrylate.
What is Cyanoacrylate – and Why Is It In Your Lash Glue?
Cyanoacrylate is the main bonding ingredient in most eyelash glues. It’s a type of fast-drying adhesive used in everything from superglue to medical procedures. While effective at holding lashes in place, it’s not exactly eye-friendly—especially for those with sensitive eyes.
Here's why:
-
Cyanoacrylate releases formaldehyde as it cures, which is a known eye and skin irritant
-
It can cause contact dermatitis, an allergic skin reaction that results in redness, itching, swelling, and even blisters
-
Reactions don’t always appear right away—many people develop lash glue allergy symptoms over time
According to the American Contact Dermatitis Society, cyanoacrylate allergy is one of the most common causes of eyelid dermatitis, especially in individuals who frequently wear falsies or lash extensions.
A study published in Contact Dermatitis found that up to 20% of people who regularly use lash glue develop some form of irritation or allergic reaction over time—and the numbers are growing with the popularity of lash enhancements.
