How to Make a Lash Cleanser: A Simple Guide for Lash Artists
One of the best things you can do for your lash clients—and your business—is offer a high-quality lash extension cleanser. Not only does it help keep lash extensions clean and long-lasting, but it can also become an easy way to earn extra income. Today, I’ll walk you through how to make a lash cleanser that’s safe, effective, and affordable.
I personally recommend using Prolong Lash Cleanser Concentrate. It’s made in Australia and is one of the most trusted brands in the industry. It’s FDA-compliant, dermatologist-tested, and optometrist-approved, which means it’s safe for use around the eyes—something super important when you're working with lash extensions!
What You’ll Need:
-
1 bottle of Prolong Lash Cleanser Concentrate
-
Distilled water (do not use tap water)
-
60ml foam pump bottles (you can find these online or in beauty supply stores)
-
Labels or stickers for branding
-
A clean container to mix in
The Mixing Ratio:
To make your lash foam cleanser, use a 1:2 ratio of Prolong Concentrate and distilled water. That means if you’re creating a 60ml bottle, you’ll mix 20ml of concentrate and 40ml of distilled water.
One bottle of Prolong Concentrate (usually around 100–120ml) can make five full-size lash cleansers. Each 60ml foam bottle costs about $1–$2, and custom stickers cost around $0.50 each. So, your total cost to make one bottle is around $9–$10.
You can retail your finished lash cleanser for eyelash extensions for $18–$25 per bottle, depending on your area and your brand. That means you’re doubling your money with every sale—and offering your clients the best lash extension cleanser on the market.
Why Sell Lash Cleansers?
Selling lash cleansers is one of the easiest add-ons for any lash artist. Your clients already need to clean their lashes to maintain retention and avoid build-up. When you provide them with a gentle, lash-safe cleanser, you’re making their lives easier while adding to your income. It’s a win-win!
Also, clients are more likely to use what you recommend when it’s right there in your salon—especially when it’s branded with your name and already mixed for them. Many lash artists struggle with retention, and most of the time it’s because clients aren’t cleaning their lashes properly. Giving them the best lash foam cleanser solves that.
