All About Gentle Primer
Gentle Prep for Better Retention
Designed with lash health and retention in mind, this alcohol-free lash primer removes oil and residue while keeping the natural lashes hydrated and protected. The result? A clean base for strong adhesive bonding without that brittle, over-dried feel.
Why This Gentle Lash Primer Stands Out
Not all primers are created equal. Many can be overly harsh, especially on clients with sensitive eyes or naturally dry lashes. This formula takes a different approach.
It works by lifting away oils, residue, and impurities that can interfere with lash adhesive, while maintaining the health of the natural lash. That balance is what helps improve lash retention without irritation.
And the subtle strawberry scent? It adds a soft, premium touch to your treatment experience and something your clients will notice straight away.

Choosing the Right Prep for Each Lash Type
One of the key questions with this Gentle Lash Primer is 'how does it work with other lash liquids and which should you use for which lash type?'. The image below explains which products you can combine this primer with for maximum results, HOWEVER, you can use this product alone.
Oily Lashes
If your client has naturally oily lashes or struggles with poor retention, you’ll need to focus on removing excess oils and boosting bonding.
Start with a gentle lash primer to break down oil and residue without over-drying. Then follow with a retention and speed booster to support faster, stronger adhesive bonding.
Normal Lashes
For clients with balanced, healthy lashes, your goal is simple: maintain cleanliness without disruption.
Use a liquid lash cleanser to remove makeup, oils, and daily buildup. Follow with a gentle lash primer to refine the lash surface and prep for optimal bonding.
Dehydrated Lashes
Dry or dehydrated lashes need a more considered approach. Over-prepping can weaken the natural lash and reduce retention.
Start with a gentle lash primer to cleanse without stripping moisture. Then use Lash Neutral to rebalance and support the natural lash environment before application.
A Better Choice for Sensitive Clients
If you’re working with clients who often react to traditional primers, switching to a gentle lash primer can make a noticeable difference.
Because it’s alcohol-free, it cleans without stripping moisture from the lashes or surrounding skin. That’s key for reducing irritation and maintaining overall lash health, especially for regular clients who come in for infills.
Perfect for Summer Lashing
Humidity and heat can seriously affect how your adhesive behaves. The last thing you want is a primer that speeds up curing time and throws off your rhythm.
This formula keeps things consistent. It preps the lashes without accelerating the adhesive, making it a reliable option during warmer months when conditions are less predictable.
How to Use in Your Lash Prep Routine
Getting the most out of your lash primer comes down to correct application:
- Dispense a small amount of product
- Use a microfibre brush to apply along the natural lash line
- Focus on removing oil and residue thoroughly
- Allow lashes to fully dry before applying extensions
