Babe Lash Serum Review: The Best Lash Growth Product?

Babe Lash Serum Review: The Best Lash Growth Product?

Read our Editorial Guidelines to learn more about what makes our site the premier resource for online health information.

Babe Lash Serum is a product from the Babe Original brand that’s used to increase lash length. The brand claims that the “ultra-nourishing and “performance-based ingredients” can improve lash length.

But does Babe Lash Serum contain research-backed ingredients for increasing lash length, or are these just marketing claims? Is it even possible for a topical serum to increase the length of lashes? Does Babe Lash Serum contain any questionable additive ingredients? And how do real customers rate and describe the effects of Babe Lash Serum?

In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more as we analyze the ingredients in Babe Lash Serum based on medical studies to give our take on whether the product is likely to be effective or if it’s a waste of money.

We’ll also share which retailer has the product for the best price and highlight real, unsponsored user reviews of Babe Lash Serum.

Ingredient Analysis

Babe Lash Serum ingredients

The ingredients in Babe’s Essential Lash Serum are shown above. 

Arginine is an amino acid that was shown to protect hair from damage in a clinical trial published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science. This suggests a lash-protective effect.

Alanine is another amino acid which is clinically shown to improve hair quality when applied topically.

Chamomilla matricaria was shown in a clinical trial published in the Cogent Medicine journal to stimulate hair growth in balding patients, which suggests (but doesn’t prove) that it may also be effective at stimulating lash growth.

Histidine is an amino acid which is clinically shown to improve the tensile strength of hair, which makes it more resistant to breakage.

Grape seed extract was shown in a medical review to promote hair growth. The study authors analyzed data from 1,000 plant extracts and found grape seed extract to be the most promising. An animal study cited in the above-linked review documented that grape seed extract improved hair growth by 230% compared to a control group.

Clearly there are a number of effective ingredients in Babe Lash Serum. But there are also some additive ingredients that are questionable from a health perspective.

Phenoxyethanol is a synthetic preservative, and as we referenced in our review of another lash brand called Rodan and Fields, we recommend avoiding use of this ingredient around the eyes because it’s clinically shown to be toxic to human cells.

Triethanolamine is a pH balancer which was shown to be irritating and potentially harmful to the eyes in a clinical trial published in the Occupational & Environmental Medicine journal.

Sodium metabisulfite and sodium benzoate are also preservatives.

Overall we consider Babe Lash Serum likely to be effective for increasing lash length and quality because of the numerous research-backed ingredients for hair growth. From an efficacy perspective, we consider this one of the best lash growth products we’ve reviewed on Illuminate Health.

We don’t recommend the product due to the four questionable additive ingredients, and we recommend that consumers be particularly careful about topical products used around the eyes, which is a very sensitive area.

Real, Unsponsored User Reviews

A YouTube creator named “thealyssamorrison” compared Babe Lash Serum to another popular lash product called Grande Lash MD:

Where to Buy Babe Lash Serum for the Best Price

Babe Lash Serum is sold by several online retailers. Here’s a price comparison accurate at the time of publishing this article:

Brand website: $49 (plus shipping, link)

Walmart: $49 (free shippinglink)

Amazon: $49 (free shippinglink)

Buying Babe Lash Serum on Walmart or Amazon should save consumers around 5-10% in shipping costs.

Real Customer Reviews of Babe Lash Serum

Amazon reviews are a better resource for honest customer reviews than a brand’s website in our opinion. Babe Lash Serum has been reviewed over 13,000 times on Amazon with an average review rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars.

The top positive review from a verified purchaser comes from a user named “Jordan” who claims the product helped their lashes recover after pulling them out:

“I had tried a few other OTC eyelash serums with minimal success over the years to help regrow my lashes. Once I started using Babe lash at the beginning of Nov 2022, I noticed a significant difference in the length and strength of my lashes by mid-Dec 2022. At 3 months in, my lashes are so much longer than they have ever been!”

The top negative review from a verified purchaser is written by an anonymous Amazon Customer who claims the product caused severe side effects:

“I began to use the new product and had immediate horrible irritation in both eyes, but I persevered because I figured it would clear up like last time. Trying to fight irritation for 2 weeks, I cut back and used maybe 1-2 times a week. My eyes were still beyond irritated. I finally had to quit using it because my eyes were in so much pain. It has been over a month and I am STILL suffering from red veiny eyes. I had to see multiple eye specialists who told me I had severe eye infections in both eyes and now dry eyes.”

Eye Doctor Discusses Safety and Efficacy of Lash Serums

An ophthalmologist named Dr. Rupa Wong has a YouTube video with over 70,000 views which shares some interesting facts about lash serums:

Our Clean Lash Boost Pick

We recommend a product called Organic Eyelash and Eyebrow Growth Serum from a brand called Live Fraiche.

This product has one single ingredient: organic castor oil, and most importantly it's entirely free of questionable filler ingredients like preservatives.

A medical review published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology described castor oil as having the potential to improve hair quality, and while we don't believe the medical evidence on castor oil for hair growth is particularly convincing, we definitely consider this to be a healthier option than commercial eyelash and eyebrow serums, and may be worth trying.

Live Fraiche's eyelash serum costs only $22 for 0.35 fluid ounces, while Nulastin costs $79 for 0.1 fluid ounces.

Interested consumers can check out Live Fraiche Organic Eyelash and Eyebrow Growth Serum at this link to its Amazon product page.

Conclusion

Babe Lash Serum contains a number of ingredients shown to be effective in clinical trials. We believe that this product is likely to improve lash length and quality, but we don’t recommend it overall due to the inclusion of four questionable additive ingredients including a synthetic preservative shown to be irritating to the eyes and toxic to human cells in a clinical trial.

Online customer reviews of this product are relatively favorable, but there are some references to potential side effects.

For consumers intent on purchasing Babe Lash Serum, doing so on Amazon or Walmart can be cheaper than from the brand’s official website due to shipping costs.
