I've always wanted luxurious lashes but those pricey products and harsh chemicals? Not for me.

With just a few simple, natural ingredients, you can nourish your lashes and encourage healthy growth—and avoiding those strange chemicals or pricey salon treatments.

This ABZ guide will show how to make your own eyelash homemade serum and why it's a game-changer for anyone seeking fuller, longer lashes.

Why try a homemade eyelash serum?

Look, most of us aren't born with dramatic, fluttery lashes, but that doesn't mean you can’t enhance what you’ve got.

Many store-bought products are packed with synthetic chemicals that can irritate, cause allergic reactions or worse.

Especially those that use any type of Prostaglandin analogs (PGAs). These synthetic compounds used in some eyelash serums to speed up hair growth have been associated with significant risks, including:

  • Skin irritation around the eyes
  • Darkening of the skin on the eyelids
  • Changes in iris color in rare cases
  • Shrinking of the skin around the eyes

A natural lash growth serum, on the other hand, uses nutrient-rich oils and vitamins to condition and strengthen your lashes over time.

It not only encourages healthy growth but also helps protect your lashes from damage caused by factors like aging, mascara, false lashes, and poor nutrition.

A homemade eyelash serum nourishes the hair follicles, supporting both growth and the overall health of your lashes.

Plus, it can help protect your delicate eye area from the effects of aging, which can lead to issues like eye wrinkles or puffy eyes.

Bonus: It's budget friendly and you know exactly what’s in it!

Key ingredients for your natural lash serum

This DIY serum combines powerhouse oils and nutrients that promote healthy, strong lashes:

  1. Castor Oil: Rich in omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E, this oil is a top pick for encouraging hair growth.
  2. Coconut Oil: Deeply hydrating and helps condition lashes to prevent breakage.
  3. Vitamin E Oil: An antioxidant that supports lash health and nourishes hair follicles.
  4. Lavender Essential Oil (Optional): Some claim it boosts lash growth and smells amazing.

Here’s the step-by-step recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon castor oil
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 5 drops of vitamin E oil
  • 1 drop lavender essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small, airtight container or dropper bottle.
  2. Swirl gently to mix.
  3. To apply, use a clean mascara wand or cotton swab to coat your lashes lightly before bed.
  4. Let it work overnight and rinse off any residue in the morning.

Tips for best results

  • Be Consistent: Apply nightly for at least 4–6 weeks to see noticeable results.
  • Start Small: A little goes a long way. Overapplying can make lashes feel greasy.
  • Store Properly: Keep the serum in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.


Additional benefits of DIY lash serum

This serum isn’t just for lashes—it works wonders on brows too! Use it to fill in sparse areas or condition your brows for a fuller look.

Believe it or not, studies show that fuller, thicker brows can enhance your facial features and make you look more attractive. See Why Eyebrows Are Important.

Lash serum ingredients: The science behind their benefits

This DIY eyelash serum recipe includes powerhouse ingredients that not only help promote healthier, longer lashes but also nourish the delicate skin around your eyes.

Here’s a deeper look into why these ingredients work so well:

  1. Castor Oil: One of the most popular oils for encouraging hair growth. While studies on its effect specifically for lashes are limited, research on scalp hair suggests it can help promote hair growth. A 2003 study in the International Journal of Trichology found castor oil boosted hair growth on the scalp, and it’s commonly used in many DIY remedies for lash health.
  2. Coconut Oil: Well-known for its moisturizing and strengthening benefits. Studies, like the one published in The Journal of Cosmetic Science, have shown that coconut oil helps reduce hair protein loss and penetrates the hair shaft, improving overall hair health. These nourishing properties make it ideal for lashes as well.
  3. Vitamin E Oil: Has antioxidant properties that support hair health. While direct studies on eyelashes are lacking, a 2014 study in Molecular Medicine Reports demonstrated that vitamin E helps stimulate blood circulation and nourish hair follicles, making it beneficial for lash growth.
  4. Lavender Oil: Based more on anecdotal evidence, it has been shown to stimulate hair growth in animal studies. A 2016 study in The Journal of Dermatology suggested lavender oil promotes hair follicle depth and density, which could potentially aid in lash growth as well.
