Modern eyelash adhesives must balance strong bonding capabilities with skin safety considerations. Current formulations achieve bond strengths of 0.2-0.5 MPa while maintaining biocompatibility, but traditional cyanoacrylate-based adhesives can release irritating vapors and pose removal challenges. Testing shows conventional formulations begin to fail after 48-72 hours of wear, particularly in high-humidity conditions above 65% RH.

The core challenge lies in developing adhesives that provide lasting hold and water resistance while ensuring safe application, comfortable wear, and clean removal from delicate eye areas.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including dual glass transition temperature acrylate copolymers, photopolymerizable adhesive systems, silicone-modified polysaccharide formulations, and cyanoacrylate-free alternatives. These and other approaches focus on improving adhesion duration and comfort while maintaining strict safety standards for periocular use.

2. Eye Makeup Composition with Dual Glass Transition Temperature Acrylate Copolymers

COSMAX INC, 2022

An eye makeup cosmetic composition with improved adhesion and line durability for attaching artificial eyelashes and forming long-lasting eyeliner. The composition contains a combination of acrylate copolymers with different glass transition temperatures. The composition has 20-50% of a low Tg acrylate copolymer (-75 to -50°C) for adhesion, and 1-20% of a high Tg acrylate copolymer (0 to 15°C) for line durability. This balance resolves issues of poor adhesion with low Tg polymers alone, or poor line retention with high Tg polymers alone. The specific copolymers used are ammonium acrylate and styrene acrylate.
