How a Concentrated Peptide Complex Supports Fuller Lashes and Brows
WideLash in a compact 5 ml packaging is a concentrated active ingredient formulated to stimulate the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows while strengthening the hair follicles in this delicate facial zone. This component belongs to the category of Active Ingredients for Hair, since its mechanism of action focuses on prolonging the active growth phase of the hair, improving follicle nourishment, and reducing shedding of thin, weakened hairs. The primary application of this raw material lies in the formulation of professional and homemade serums, gels, and balms for lashes and brows, as well as combined cosmetic products designed to strengthen hairlines around the face. The small 5 ml packaging is particularly suited for home cosmetic making, sample testing, and trial batches, allowing formulators to evaluate compatibility with other ingredients before scaling up to larger production runs.
The active works by stimulating cellular metabolism within the hair follicles, which supports a longer anagen growth phase and results in visibly thicker, denser lashes and brows over time. Cosmetic developers frequently pair WideLash with targeted peptide and botanical complexes, such as the Serum for Eyelash and Eyebrow Growth for Thicker
lashes, which enhances the overall strengthening effect and allows for multifunctional formulas. It also blends well with scalp-focused actives such as Defenscalp when formulators are building a complete hair and appendage care line. For a more pronounced strengthening effect along the entire hair shaft, adding Tricorexina hydro to larger hair care formulations is worth considering.
The recommended usage rate for WideLash typically ranges from 1 to 3 percent of the total formula weight, with exact concentration depending on the target formula and desired intensity of action. The ingredient should be added during the final, cool-down phase of production, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid degrading the active molecules under heat. It is compatible with most water and water-glycerin bases, cellulose-based gel thickeners, and light emulsion systems. Mixing with strong oxidizers or aggressive low-pH acids without prior stability testing is not recommended. The component should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, at temperatures between 4 and 20 degrees Celsius, which helps preserve the activity of the ingredient for its full shelf life.
This active ingredient is in demand not only in skincare and color cosmetics but also in the production of specialized beauty products for salons, where technicians offer lash strengthening and lamination treatments using homemade serums built around similar actives. The compact 5 ml size is convenient for cosmetologists and independent formulators looking to test a formula before scaling up production.

Distilled water 50 ml
Glycerin 5 ml
Panthenol liquid 3 ml
Castor oil 12 ml
Broad spectrum preservative 1 ml
Combine
distilled water with glycerin and panthenol in a clean container, stirring
until fully blended. Gently warm the castor oil to room temperature and pour it
into the water phase in a thin stream while stirring continuously until a
stable emulsion forms. Once the mixture cools to below 35 degrees Celsius, add
the WideLash and the preservative, mixing gently until fully dissolved.
Transfer the finished serum into a clean bottle fitted with a brush applicator
