ECO System vs InLei

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
