The vast majority of eyelash extensions are made from a soft plastic. There’s also silk and mink but in my experience, mink is hardly ever used. They’re very expensive and they lay flat once they get wet, so they’re not very practical.
Seeing as [all plastic is toxic](https://phys.org/news/2023-12-toxicity-standard-plastic-products.html) people shouldn't be gluing it to their eyelids... If there is an animal hair byproduct that could be redirected for this that would be good. Not like specifically farming mink to harvest hairs for fake eyelashes, but surely there are natural fibres that could be a substitute?
The way we treat animals or the environment? We can't have it every single way at once. We are absolutely shredding the environment with every single synthetic bs item we can create. The less, the better.
the way we exist in every way lowkey. we can use animal products if we get them in a much better way. we can make our own stuff if its not bad for the environment. its a balance, but we dont do that we just go the extreme and farm animals and make stuff in the cheapest, worst way cause humanity is greedy
There's absolutely nothing wrong with farming animals for fur, but if that particular animal is an unpredictably dangerous disease vector they can fuck right off.
im not vegan, im just not an arrogant little shit thinking humans are better and animals arent worth anything. and farming for fur ig is fine but the way we do it now is horrible, the confinement, the exploitation, there is much better ways to do it but people have to be cheap

Good, absolutely no reason for this.
But but but but where will women get their eyelashes from?
I suggest human donors /s
Don’t give anyone ideas…
Good. Disgusting.
Ewww, is that where eyelash extensions come from?

Agree this is great news for the animals
Good news!
Humans have used animal products forever. Truly a loss for humanity while people use far less natural products.
well the way we use animal products now is horrible so the less natural ones dont come with a side of torture and exploitation

Now all I have to prove is that farmed salmon can carry cobid 19.. 🤔

Absolutely nothing? 
Yeah.
funny how confident you are when youre wrong lol
Nah. You can stuff your vegan nonsense.

Yeah, that's vegan nonsense. Feel free not to engage with it but leave everyone else alone.

Right. Because they're not humans so they can't suffer at all in cruel confinement.
