The skin is part of the treatment too.

When we perform a brow lamination, we’re not just treating the brow hairs. The lifting solution sits directly on the skin throughout the processing time.

That’s why pH matters.

For a relaxing solution to work, the pH must be alkaline enough to allow the active ingredients to access the hair’s internal structure. But as the pH becomes more alkaline, the skin can also become more susceptible to irritation because its natural barrier is being disrupted.

This doesn’t mean a higher pH will always cause burning. Skin sensitivity varies from person to person, and the overall formula, processing time, application technique, and other ingredients all play an important role.

That’s why we looked beyond performance alone.

Our new Step 1 is a full cysteamine formula with no thioglycolate and no ethanolamine, carefully developed to create beautiful brow laminations while keeping skin health at the forefront of every formulation decision.

Because beautiful results should never come at the expense of healthy skin.

Skin first. Always.

Ingredient File: Why the solution on the skin matters.

When we perform a brow lamination, the lifting solution doesn’t just touch the brow hairs. It sits directly on the skin for up to 15 minutes.

That makes the ingredients just as important as the results.

Many traditional brow lamination formulas use ethanolamine to help raise the pH and support the lifting process. While it’s effective, published in vitro cytotoxicity testing on human skin cells has shown low cell viability for ethanolamine thioglycolate under the conditions tested, raising important questions about skin compatibility.

That’s why we chose a different approach.

Our new Step 1 is a full cysteamine formula with no ethanolamine.

Because brow lamination isn’t just about reshaping hair.

It’s also about respecting the skin underneath it.

Skin first. Always.

The hair gets all the attention because it’s visible. The skin determines comfort, retention of trust, and the overall client experience.

Your client’s skin gets laminated too.

i know, it sounds strange, but think about it?

During a lash lift, the lifting lotion is primarily placed on a shield. During a brow lamination, the product is applied directly over the skin beneath the brows.

That means the active ingredient isn’t only interacting with hair. It’s interacting with skin too. This is why ingredient selection matters.

Traditional thio systems typically work at a very high pH, which can place more stress on the skin barrier. Cysteamine systems work differently, working at a more moderate pH while still reshaping the hair.

When comparing brow lamination products, understand what you will be putting on their skin?

Had you ever thought about brow lamination this way?
