With all the new eyelash stimulator products out today, there often seems to be a trade off between longer eyelashes and side effects. No one product is perfect and if they claim to be, you should be wondering why it seems too good to be true. Today, we’re going to discover the truth of Mavala Double Lash side effects.

Mavala Eye-lite DoubleLash is one of the older eyelash growth accelerator products that have been for sale for quite a few years. The product description describes Double Lash as a nourishing Eyelash Conditioner that protects, lengthens, and strengthens your eyelashes. Mavala claims that DoubleLash contains natural active ingredients that act overnight. Mavala Double Lash is made in Switzerland where there is much more of a stress on natural ingredients and naturally growing longer eye lashes.

While the company claims that their natural active ingredients will restore, strengthen, and make your eyelashes shinier, the ingredients listed don’t contain anything that would actually stimulate eyelash growth. The listed ingredients of Double Lash Growth Serum are:
Ingredients: Water, Magnesium, Aluminum Silicate, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat, Xanthan Gum, Lactococcus Ferment, Glycosaminoglycans, Proline, Riboflavin, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Hexamidine Diisethionate, 2-Bromo-2Nitropropane-1, 3-Diol

This is nothing more than B vitamins and nutrients that you can easily find in hair growth multivitamins. However, many people have claimed that Mavala is an effective eyelash growth product that helped them grow longer, stronger, silkier eyelashes. There’s nothing in this eyelash accelerator from Mavala that would cause harmful side effects, but there doesn’t seem to be any actual active ingredients either. I don’t know, you’ll have to judge for yourself on this one.

Here’s another person who had a bad reaction to castor oil for eyelash growth. While I didn’t get an “eye zit”, castor oil did irritate my eyes. You can read more about my experiment with castor oil for longer eyelashes here.

Are your eyelashes slow to grow? Unfortunately, your eyelashes are some of the slowest growing hairs on your body. It takes as long as 24 weeks to fully regrow a single eyelash.

And if you’re not getting the proper nutrition from the foods you’re eating, your eyelashes can take even longer to regrow. Certain vitamins and minerals are needed for lashes to grow. The most important ones are:

• Biotin
• Vitamin B6
• Inositol
• Folic Acid
• Sulfur
• Zinc
• Magnesium
• Silica
• Vitamin A
• A diet rich in protein

As you can see, it takes a lot of nutrients to maximize eyelash growth. To get all of these vitamins, you would have to take bottles of vitamin and mineral supplements.

I don’t have to tell you that taking a handful of pills everyday to get these vitamins and minerals would be awful. What you need are eyelash growers that will make your lashes longer naturally, no pills involved.

So in the quest for eyelash lengtheners that really work I asked myself:

Does Caster Oil Make Eyelashes Grow?

The second method I tried to grow my eyelashes was to apply castor oil to my lashes once in the morning and once at night. I think this is a traditional Indian method to grow longer lashes?

Like the Vaseline method (see my post on does Vaseline make your eyelashes grow?), the castor oil did make my eyelashes softer and darker, but I think this was just because of the oil coating the eyelashes. I didn’t notice any eyelash growth form this method either.

I found the castor oil easier to apply, but it was still pretty unpleasant. Castor oil is very thick and almost syrup like and it feels and smells pretty bad too. No matter how lightly I applied the oil, it always managed to get into my eyes and blur my vision. Another side effect from getting castor oil in your eyes is some nasty funky discharge. Also, the castor oil often got onto my skin and made the skin around my temples break out in cystic acne.
