The Truth About Isopropyl Cloprostenate

 With a rise in the popularity of lash serums, there's been an influx of new information on the subject. But sorting out what’s true from what’s not? Now, that can be tricky.

As a trusted leader in beauty, we care that our community has accurate information regarding our best-selling GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum so that you can make an informed decision when it comes to investing in your Grande journey.

 

From our Founder,
Your Most Commonly Asked Questions:

What is Isopropyl Cloprostenate?

Isopropyl Cloprostenate or "IC" is one of our key ingredients featured in our enhancing serums. It is a type of prostaglandin analogue that is known for hair conditioning, as defined by INCI.

Did you know? INCI is a cosmetic ingredient dictionary & the beauty industry’s standard for recognizing and classifying cosmetic ingredients worldwide.

Why does GrandeLASH-MD utilize IC?
Not all lash serums are created equally. We never settle for lackluster results & Isopropyl Cloprostenate, in conjunction with other synergistic ingredients found within our formulas, is the gold standard for the real, undeniable results you know & love.

 

Is Isopropyl Cloprostenate a Hormone?

Isopropyl Cloprostenate, is NOT a hormone.

Hormones are chemical messengers produced within the human body - whereas Isopropyl Cloprostenate is a safe, synthetic cosmetic ingredient listed in the cosmetic ingredient dictionary, INCI, as a hair conditioner.

Is Synthetic Bad?

This is a common misconception. Synthetic simply means that the ingredient has been created in a lab.

In fact, synthetic forms can even be superior because there is greater control over their formulation.

Many ingredients you know and love are synthetic. For example, retinol is a form of vitamin A that is also synthetic, or lab-derived.

Does IC Cause Periorbital Fat Loss or Iris Color Change?

GrandeLASH-MD is safe and does not cause iris color change or orbital fat loss.

This has been scientifically substantiated by an 8 month long, third-party clinical study that followed 120 users of GrandeLASH-MD (a study that few cosmetic brands bother to invest in).

In fact, GrandeLASH-MD is amongst the most studied cosmetic lash serums on the market.

Can IC Cause Sensitivies?

GrandeLASH-MD is a Skincare Product:
Everyone’s skin is unique and there is always a possibility of sensitivity when introducing a new skincare product into your routine. There can often be an acclimation period as your skin gets used to a new formula.

Always listen to your skin! If sensitivity continues, discontinue use. Not all ingredients are right for everyone.

Can I use GrandeLASH-MD if I have sensitive skin?

Just like ingredients like Vitamin C, there may be an acclimation period as your skin gets used as a new product, especially if you are known to have sensitive skin.

If you have sensitive skin, you can use the serum every other night for the first two weeks as you adjust.

As with any skincare or cosmetic formula, there is always a possibility that some people can experience a sensitivity. Sensitivities can also occur with the use of too much product or improper application.

Just The Facts: Isopropyl Cloprostenate

What is Isopropyl Cloprostenate?

Is Isopropyl Cloprostenate safe?

Yes, Grande Cosmetics is committed to safety. We would only include ingredients at concentrations that are safe for use, and this includes Isopropyl Cloprostenate.

What does analogue mean in the term "prostaglandin analogue"?

This means a version that is created synthetically.

Synthetically formulated compounds can be superior to natural versions of these substances as there is greater control in the formulation of these synthetic materials.
 

An example of a commonly used synthetic ingredient is retinol, a lab-derived highly purified form of vitamin A, which is well known for its ability to combat the appearance of fine lines.

Yes, Isopropyl Cloprosenate has always been included in GrandeLASH-MD's formula, ingredient list and on our product packaging.

Is Isopropyl Cloprostenate the same ingredient used in prescription lash serums?

No. While there are a wide variety of ingredients that can be used to enhance the appearance of your lashes, GrandeLASH-MD is a cosmetic product and only uses cosmetic ingredients. It should not be compared to a drug.
