So your probably wondering why there is two. Good question, i believe that there is always something great out there. And i truly want to use the best products in my studio, with aftercare and using the tops brands in my services.
I came across Inlei and was blown away with the results and how it was done along with the ingredients. Then i had went to a lash social, and met the Canadian distributer and trainer in my area and i was blown away with the story, the Korean lift result and the product technology backed by science and researchers. As a lash studio owner, offering a high Lash Lift system could position WildKayte Studio as a salon that cares about lash health and longevity, not just immediate aesthetic results — a differentiator many clients appreciate.
Lets talk about each brand and why they are both amazing in their own way and targeting what your looking for in your lift.
🌿 What is Eco Lash Lift System
Eco Lash Lift is a full professional-only lash-lift / lash-lamination system developed in South Korea.
The core idea behind Eco is to deliver a gentle lash-lift that reshapes lashes while deeply nourishing, conditioning, and rebuilding lash health — not just curling them.
🔬 How It’s Created & How It Works
The system was born out of concern for lash damage from repeated perm/lift treatments. Developers aimed to remove harsh or damaging chemicals and replace them with safer, more lash-friendly alternatives.
Unlike many traditional lash perms (which often use strong reducing agents like thioglycolic acid, ethanolamine or ammonium), Eco uses a cysteamine-based, “thio-free” formula. That means no HCl, no thioglycolic acid, no ethanolamine or ammonium.
The system spans a multi-step protocol (commonly 6–8 steps depending on the version) — including a softening cream (to break/disrupt natural lash bonds gently), a fixing cream to set the curl, and supplementary steps like bonding creams, pH balancers, bonding repair, and a concluding keratin/essence treatment to restore integrity.
✨ Highlights & Formula — What Makes Eco Lash Lift Stand Out
Gentle and safe for natural lashes: Because it avoids harsh perm-type chemicals and instead uses cysteamine plus nourishing agents, it’s much less damaging — even with repeated treatments.
Deep nourishment and rebuilding: The formulas are enriched with high-concentration keratin (claimed up to 50,000 ppm), along with amino acids, peptides, collagen, biotin, and other conditioning agents — all intended to strengthen, hydrate, and repair lash structure.
Vegan, cruelty-free, non-toxic & eco-conscious: The brand emphasizes sustainability and safety: “EWG Grade 1” ingredients (i.e. low toxicity), vegan/collagen-free where possible, and avoidance of animal-derived or harmful substances.
Better odor / more pleasant experience: Because cysteamine is used instead of typical perm chemicals (which often have strong, unpleasant smells), Eco Lash Lift reportedly has a much milder, more tolerable scent — a big plus when working close to the eyes.
pH-balanced, bond-repair focused: The system includes steps aimed at maintaining lash integrity, rebalancing pH after chemical steps, and repairing bond damage — reducing the risk of lash weakening over time

🌟 Why It’s Considered Special / Beneficial
For clients who value lash health — especially those with fine, fragile, or previously damaged lashes — Eco Lash Lift is an excellent choice, because it lifts and curls without compromising lash integrity.
It aligns with modern beauty values: vegan, cruelty-free, non-toxic, eco-friendly — appealing to clients who care about ethical and clean beauty.
The nourishing + repairing formulas mean that lashes don’t just get lifted — they get strengthened, hydrated, and rehabilitated, which can improve lash quality over time rather than degrade it.
Since the formula minimizes harsh chemicals and odor, the treatment is more comfortable for clients, particularly those with sensitivities or who dislike strong chemical smell.

🌍 Where It’s From & Brand Background
InLei is an Italian beauty brand. Their lash-lift / “lash filler” products are 100% made in Italy in controlled, tested batches.
Their products are intended for professional use only — suitable for lash/brow artists who have been trained in proper application.
🛠️ How It’s Created & How the Treatment Works
The InLei system typically uses a three-step protocol (sometimes referenced as “25.9” system): a “Form 1” lifting solution, “Fix 2” neutralizer/fixing solution, and “Filler 3” — a nourishing/strengthening step.
Basic procedure: cleanse natural lashes, apply protective under-eye pads, choose correct silicone curler or shield, place lashes on curler, apply Form 1 (lift), then Fix 2 (set the curl/shape), then optionally tint, and finish with Filler 3 to nourish.
The entire treatment (lift + tint + care) can yield a lifted, curled lash with added definition — with results lasting several weeks depending on lash growth cycles and aftercare.
🧪 Formula & Key Ingredients (What Makes “InLei” Unique)
Here’s a breakdown of what goes into the InLei formulas and why they matter:
Form 1 (Lift solution): Contains Aqua, Ammonium Thioglycolate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lauryl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20/30, Ammonia, etc. — similar to traditional perm/lift solutions, enabling the reshaping of lash structure.
Fix 2 (Neutralizer/setting solution): Typically uses Hydrogen Peroxide plus emollients and stabilizers to “lock in” the lift/curl safely.
Filler 3 (Nourishing/strengthening step): Here’s where InLei stands out — this step includes plant-based (vegetable) keratin, amino acids, panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, hydrolyzed keratin, moisturizing agents etc. These ingredients aim to repair, nourish, strengthen, and improve elasticity of the lashes from the inside out.
The system has been clinically tested. According to brand data, after a course of treatments, natural lash hair diameter increases on average by ~24-25%, and lashes also see improvements in length, strength, shine and overall health.

✨ Highlights & What Makes InLei Lash Lift Special
Here are the main reasons many lash artists and salons prefer InLei over standard lash-lift kits:
More than a “lift” — it’s a full lash-care treatment. Traditional lifts simply reshape lashes; InLei’s “Lash Lift / Filler” aims to lift + nourish + revive lash health.
Clinically proven results: Verified increase in lash thickness and improved structural health (less breakage, more elasticity) over time — not just a temporary cosmetic effect.
Professional-grade, controlled formulation: Made in Italy, tested for safety and efficacy, with full ingredient transparency (SDS), which gives salon professionals confidence and reliability.
Vegan / gentle keratin-based nourishing step (Filler 3): The use of plant-derived keratin and amino-acid complex helps strengthen natural lashes — a big plus for clients who want lash enhancement without damage or weakening
Versatility and salon-ready: Because of the quality of ingredients and predictable results, InLei suits a wide range of lash types (fine, brittle, strong), and can deliver consistent outcomes — which matters a lot if you’re running a studio (as you are).

Side-by-Side Comparison Table: ECO Lash/Brow System vs InLei Lash Filler
Feature / Factor | ECO Lash/Brow System | InLei Lash Filler |
Core Chemistry | Cysteamine-based, pH-balanced, repair-oriented | Thioglycolate / more traditional “perm-like” chemistry (depending on product), clinically tested “filler” formula |
Hair Damage / Gentleness | Designed to minimize damage; high keratin, amino acids, peptides support repair | Stronger lifting power; risk of over-processing if not carefully timed, but very effective for thickening |
Customizability | Multi-step, more control over strength and timing; allows personalized protocol | More streamlined (especially with mousse); less “tweak-everything” but very reliable if you follow their protocol |
Treatment Time | Potentially longer due to the number of steps and customized timing | Faster, especially when using Mousse Magica; good for high-throughput salons |
Growth / Thickening Claims | More focused on structural repair than dramatic thickening; good for lash health | Clinically measured thickening (~24–25%) and elongation with repeated treatments; “filler” positioning emphasizes a “growth / boost” effect |
Vegan / Cruelty-Free | Yes — strongly positioned as vegan / cruelty-free in many of its professional-education materials | Some vegan formulations, but not always the primary brand messaging; more varied depending on region / distributor |
Suitability / Target Client | Ideal for fragile, thin, over-processed, or sensitive lashes; clients who prioritize lash health | Best for clients who want dramatically thicker lashes, measurable “lash filler”-type results, or who don’t mind stronger chemistry |
Education / Training | More steps means pros may need more training or attention to timing; good for detail-oriented techs | Very established education system; InLei is widely used and recognized; many licensed techs already trained on it |
Brand Recognition | Growing, especially among eco- or health-first studios | Very well-known globally; strong clinical brand presence |
After-care / Maintenance | Emphasis on regeneration / repair; after-care likely aligned to minimize damage | After-care often about maintaining shape and promoting “filler” effects; clients may come back for regular treatments to sustain thickening |
