Castor Oil VS Eyelash Serum: the test

Castor Oil VS Eyelash Serum: the test

Coralie Techer

Castor oil or a serum specially formulated for eyelash regrowth: which one really wins the race for doe-like lashes? We have the answer.

The growth of eyelashes is a passionate subject. Who doesn't dream of long, perfectly curled lashes? Some are born with this gift of nature, while others have to work for it. Fortunately, accelerating eyelash growth and strengthening them for a doe-like gaze is possible without too much effort.

Many solutions exist, some are innovative, others are more traditional. The cosmetics market knows exactly where to strike to satisfy women with lashes that are too short. To get lashes like Lily Collins, two solutions are possible and quite popular: castor oil (a method that has stood the test of time and has upheld its reputation) and the eyebrow regrowth serum, which has flooded the cosmetics market with promising (and fast) results in recent years. To decide between these two heavyweights of the genre, we conducted a small test with our brand's eyelash serum ROSELASH by ROSEGOLD PARIS versus a course of castor oil.

A look back at eyelashes and their role in our appearance

Before getting to the heart of the matter, let's look back at the importance and role of eyelashes. They have two main functions, one protective and the other aesthetic. Eyelashes are small hairs that cover the entire upper and lower curve of the eye contour. They are specifically located there because their primary purpose is to protect our eyes from dirt, pollution, and surrounding impurities that could harm them.

From an aesthetic point of view, eyelashes can also serve as a seductive asset. Long and curled, they enhance the gaze (so captivating), allowing it to appear larger or more discreet depending on their shape, size, and color.

 

Everything you need to know about Castor Oil and its role in eyelash growth

Castor oil has always been renowned as a powerful strengthener for hair. On hair, eyebrows, and even eyelashes, it acts as a regrowth booster.

What is Castor Oil?

Also known as castor oil, castor oil is part of Mother Nature's family of beneficial plant oils. This natural plant oil has highly renowned moisturizing properties. This thick and viscous oil is obtained from castor seeds, which originate in Africa. Indeed, castor is a plant from East Africa that can also adapt very well to the West.

Is Castor Oil Effective for Eyelash Growth?

Castor oil is an oil rich in essential elements for eyelash growth. It is full of fatty acids and vitamin E, active ingredients that give it incredible nourishing and moisturizing properties. Thanks to its ultra-nourishing action, castor oil helps hair become stronger and thicker.

The Eyelash Growth Serum: The Happy Alternative for Lashes That Grow Faster

The ROSELASH eyelash serum has been carefully thought out and developed to act directly on eyelash regrowth. This serum, made with natural ingredients, has the particularity of acting in a targeted way through its carefully chosen ingredients such as biotin (vitamin B that makes hair grow quickly), vitamin B5, and biotinyl-GHK.

 

What is Rosegold's Roselash Eyelash Serum?

ROSEGOLD PARIS's ROSELASH eyelash serum is a product that aims to be revolutionary. It was specially designed to stimulate eyelash growth.

Developed from three high-quality ingredients, chosen for their moisturizing and stimulating properties, ROSELASH acts on eyelashes effectively and, above all, almost instantly. Here is a breakdown of the ingredients to understand:

  • Vitamin B5 to activate growth

Vitamin B5 allows for rapid cell renewal. Eyelashes have a rather short life cycle. During this three-phase cycle, they grow, strengthen, and then fall out. By applying the ROSELASH eyelash growth serum (voted best product in its category in 2020), eyelash growth is boosted.

 

  • Biotinyl GHK to promote the reconstruction of connective tissues

ROSELASH eyelash serum contains biotinyl GHK, which acts as an activator and reconstructor of the connective tissue matrix. It activates and rebuilds these cells by stimulating the macromolecules present in the mucous membrane. This entire process then promotes growth and eyelash growth.

 

  • Biotin to seal in moisture and strengthen eyelashes

Biotin seals it all by providing eyelashes with the moisture they need. Biotin helps combat thinning and fragile eyelashes that break easily. Biotin's main advantage lies in its keratin-regenerating action. Indeed, VITAMIN B (another name for Biotin), which makes up the ROSELASH eyelash serum, also contains Keratin, which will nourish the keratin already present in the eyelash hair fiber.

The Promises of the Eyelash Growth Serum

Like all growth serums, the ROSELASH eyelash serum promises fast and instant growth in just a few weeks. But is it true? Of course, we tested it.

Technically, the ROSELASH serum comes in the form of a classic eyeliner. The first advantage of this serum is the simplicity of its use. It is applied like a traditional eyeliner. Using the small brush, the solution is spread along the lash line to allow the serum to penetrate better right down to the roots of the hairs.

Mainly made up of natural nutrients and vitamins. The serum stimulates eyelash growth.

Applying Eyelash Serum VS Applying Castor Oil to Eyelashes

ROSELASH: the eyelash serum is practical and easy to apply. With it, there is no need to resort to one trick or another to apply the solution without getting it everywhere in your eye. A thin line of serum is more than enough to start activating regrowth. Once the serum is applied and absorbed, know that you can absolutely apply makeup over it! A real plus that beats castor oil, since the latter must be applied at night and avoid any contact with makeup...

CASTOR OIL: it comes from Mother Nature and has always proven effective when looking to boost the growth of hair, lashes, nails, or eyebrows. But here's the thing, castor oil is not practical and requires a more or less long course! Very thick, it is difficult to remove, can irritate the eye if it gets in there, and must be applied meticulously. In short, it takes time.

Let's add to that, for the sake of vanity, that castor oil cannot be applied if you wear eyelash extensions ... While the serum... yes!

 

Eyelash Serum VS Castor Oil: the final verdict

After comparing the eyelash growth serum and castor oil from start to finish, we come to this conclusion: castor oil is a gem from Mother Nature, however, it is not the most practical thing for eyelash regrowth! The ROSELASH serum (in a one, three, or six-month course) on the other hand is just as effective, but so much more practical. It is the treatment you can adopt into any routine and take everywhere with you (even on vacation).
