When shopping for lashes, watch out for the term "cruelty-free." It doesn't guarantee a furry friend-friendly process! Lashes are a popular beauty product, and with eco-awareness rising, some brands are slapping on "cruelty-free" without the full story. This raises unethical concerns, and mink lashes can also be bad for your eye health.
In this blog post, we'll tell you more about these problems and give you a cruelty-free and vegan alternative.
Mink Lashes: A Hidden Reality
Minks are small animals that are often raised on factory farms just for their fur. Even though some brands claim to source their fur ethically, these animals are often kept in small, dirty cages and sometimes even abused. Pulling fur off of live minks is cruel and painful. So even though some brands try to convince us otherwise, mink lashes are not cruelty-free.
Protecting the Delicate Eye Area
Taking care of the eye area is crucial and requires gentle care. Synthetic fringes can bring about itching, swelling, redness and tons more side effects. Don't be duped by mink lashes either, they might look luxe, but also come with their own set of risks.👁️ On the other hand, Boba Blinks' hemp-derived lashes are gentle on your eyes, keeping irritation and other unwanted effects away.
