Another great thing about this mascara is that it boasts ingredients typically found in skin and hair care products, so I use it with the confidence that it’s doing good to my lashes. The star ingredient is panthenol (aka vitamin B5), which encourages hair to hold on to moisture. What does that mean for lashes? Not that they’ll stay wet or start to smudge. Instead, it prevents that brittle feeling that some mascaras can leave behind, and it can even protect fragile lashes. Besides panthenol, this contains a handful of waxes to keep lashes flexible, and I love the fluffy, fanned-out effect it lends.
