How long is the shelf life of false eyelash adhesive

The shelf life of false eyelash adhesive can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of adhesive, storage conditions, and whether it has been opened or not. Here are the general guidelines:

• Unopened false eyelash adhesive
  • Water-based adhesives: Usually have a shelf life of about 6 to 12 months. These adhesives contain water as a main component and tend to dry out or develop mold over time if not used within the recommended period.
  • Latex-based adhesives: Can typically last 12 to 18 months when unopened. Latex provides good bonding properties, and when properly sealed and stored, these adhesives can maintain their effectiveness for a relatively long time.
  • Cyanoacrylate adhesives: Often have a shelf life of 12 to 24 months. These are strong, fast-drying adhesives, and if kept in a cool, dry place away from air and moisture, they can remain usable for an extended period.
• Opened false eyelash adhesive
  • Water-based adhesives: After opening, it's best to use them within 2 to 3 months. Once exposed to air, they can dry out more quickly and may start to lose their stickiness.
  • Latex-based adhesives: For opened latex-based adhesives, the recommended usage period is usually 3 to 6 months. The exposure to air and potential contamination can affect the adhesive's performance over time.
  • Cyanoacrylate adhesives: These should generally be used within 4 to 6 months after opening. Although they are relatively stable, they can still be affected by air and moisture, which may cause them to thicken or cure prematurely.
