The Volume Mascara offers a certified natural formulation that combines mineral pigments with nourishing ingredients such as quince seed, silk, and candelilla wax to coat and protect each individual lash. This mascara enhances lash thickness, creating more volume for a dramatic look.
The brush allows for a thicker lash appearance, and the mineral pigments can be applied in either straight strokes or zig-zag movements to build expressive lashes while providing valuable eyelash care. Dr. Hauschka's natural mascaras are ophthalmologically tested, making them suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Nb. the Cadelilla wax may block meibomium glands if put too close to the eyelid margin.
Dr Hauschka Volume Mascara, your questions answered
Q1. What is the difference between volume and defining mascara?
Volume mascara adds thickness and fullness to lashes, creating a more dramatic look. Defining mascara separates and lengthens for a more natural, precise finish.
If your lashes are fine or sparse, volume suits you. If they are already thick and you want clarity and separation, defining is better.
Q2. Is it safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?
Yes. Dr Hauschka avoids synthetic fragrance, parabens, and conventional dyes. Apply after inserting lenses and remove thoroughly each night.
Q3. What makes a volume formula different in terms of ingredient thickness?
Volume mascaras use a higher proportion of waxes and film-forming agents to build up on the lash. That also means more residue risk at the lash root, so thorough removal is especially important.
Q4. Can I use it if I have dry eye or blepharitis?
In a stable period, a clean-formula mascara is a reasonable choice. In a flare, rest the lid margin from all cosmetics. The key habit is complete removal every night.
Q5. How do I remove it?
Oil-based or micellar remover on a cotton pad. Press and hold for a few seconds to dissolve the wax components before wiping. A cotton bud along the lash root removes residue that the pad misses.
Q6. How often should I replace it?
Every three months. The warm, moist tube environment allows bacterial growth over time regardless of how much product remains.
