Merit created the Clean Lash lengthening mascara, a tubing formula designed to be gentle on sensitive eyes while adding natural length. The formula follows Clean at Merit standards and is made with vitamin B5 for shine and olive oil esters to condition lashes.
Clean Lash currently comes only in black and uses a slim precision brush that separates, lifts and lengthens without clumping. Because it forms tubes around each lash it resists smudging and flakes but still comes off easily at removal, reducing the need for harsh rubbing.
For shoppers with dry, sensitive or mature eyes, this mascara offers wear that’s comfortable and long-lasting while still delivering visible lift and separation. Its tube-based removal and conditioning ingredients make it a practical hypoallergenic pick for everyday use.
