Peptides vs. Oils: What Actually Makes Your Lashes Grow?

For years, castor oil has been promoted as a “lash growth miracle.”
But here’s the truth:
Oils do NOT stimulate lash growth. Peptides do.
OILS (castor, coconut, almond)
Oils can:
• Moisturize lashes
• Reduce brittleness
• Add shine

But oils cannot reach the lash follicle, which means:
Oils may make lashes look healthier, but they will not make them grow.


PEPTIDES
Peptides penetrate into the follicle and:
• Stimulate keratin production
• Strengthen the root
• Extend the active lash growth phase
• Create visible and long-term growth

That’s why peptide-based serums actually work.
LAURIVA: Lauriva Lash Serum is peptide-based and hormone-free, designed to grow your natural lashes safely, not just coat them.

Growth comes from science, not from oil.
