STEP 1 — SOFTENING CREAM

FAST. STABLE. PREDICTABLE.

Efficient softening without the sudden processing spike.

Step 1 is ElysiaLab’s professional lash softening cream, combining free-base cysteamine + glutathione with a balanced pH and controlled cream texture.

Designed to provide fast, efficient softening with a more stable and predictable processing progression.


WHY OUR SOFTENING SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT

01. FREE-BASE CYSTEAMINE + GLUTATHIONE

Formulated with free-base cysteamine + glutathione as the reducing system.

Developed with the delicate eye area in mind, without added cysteamine HCl, ammonia or ethanolamine.


02. BALANCED pH ≈ 8.3

Step 1 is formulated at approximately pH 8.3 to provide efficient professional softening while supporting a more stable processing progression.

Fast enough for professional work.
Controlled enough for precise timing.


03. CONTROLLED CREAM TEXTURE

The cream texture is designed for precise placement and controlled application, helping professionals manage where and how the softening formula is applied.


FAST DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN AGGRESSIVE

Some speed-focused formulas can soften lashes very rapidly, leaving a narrow window between not enough and too much.

Step 1 is designed differently: fast enough for efficient professional work, but with a more stable, predictable softening progression.

For ElysiaLab, CONTROL isn't about making the process slower.

CONTROL = FAST SOFTENING WITHOUT THE SUDDEN SPIKE.

Why we are called Eco?

• Vegan & Cruelty-free

Vegan products eschew animal-derived ingredients and refrain from animal testing, riding the wave of heightened interest in environmental conservation and animal welfare. Here is the examples:

Collagen: Collagen extracted from pigskin or cattle bones is commonly used to enhance skin elasticity. However, Plant-based ingredients like seaweed extracts offer collagen-like effects, considered an eco-friendly choice.

Wax: Beeswax is derived from animal sources, typically harvested from beehives. By the way, Soywax serves as a suitable alternative, extracted from soybean oil, a plant-based source.
