  • No synthetic preservatives, colours or fragrance — ideal for sensitive eyes.

FAQ: Why does conventional mascara sting my eyes?

Many commercial mascaras use fragrance, preservatives (like parabens), dyes, and PEGs—all of which are known to irritate the delicate eye area. These ingredients can disrupt your tear film or trigger allergic responses, especially in people with dry, sensitive or contact-lens-wearing eyes. Biome’s formula avoids all of these, using only botanical oils, natural waxes and mineral pigments—no stinging, just softness.

Mineral Mascara vs Conventional Mascara: What’s the Difference?

🧪 1. Ingredients

Conventional:
Most drugstore and prestige mascaras rely on a cocktail of synthetic polymers, parabens, PEGs, petrochemicals, palm oil derivatives, and fragrance. Many also contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)—known as “forever chemicals”—to create waterproof or smudge-proof effects.

Mineral (e.g. Biome):
Biome’s formula is free from PFAS, palm oil, synthetic dyes and preservatives. Instead, it uses plant-based waxes, castor oil, and jojoba oil to condition lashes while adding natural length and definition.


👁 2. Eye Sensitivity

Conventional:
The synthetic ingredients in mainstream mascaras can trigger burning, itching, redness, or watery eyes—especially for contact lens wearers or those with dry/sensitive eyes.

Mineral:
Biome’s mascara is often chosen specifically by people with sensitive eyes or chronic irritation. It’s free from fragrance and drying agents—users describe it as “doesn’t irritate my eyes” and “all goodness, no nasties.”


💫 3. Application and Wear

Conventional:
May offer high-impact volume and pigment but can also clump, flake, or smudge—especially in humid or oily conditions. Waterproof versions can be difficult to remove and require harsh cleansers.

Mineral:
Biome’s mascara delivers a natural, buildable look that doesn’t clump or smudge during the day. It's not waterproof, so it washes off easily—ideal for everyday wear without rubbing or stripping your lashes.


🌱 4. Lash Health

Conventional:
Synthetic mascaras can dry out lashes, leading to breakage or thinning over time. Very few offer conditioning benefits.

Mineral:
Biome’s formula doubles as lash care—castor oil and jojoba oil nourish and protect lashes with each wear, helping them stay soft, strong, and full.
