With our appealing cosmoetic—a creation from the cosmos—we re-envisioned this synthetic cosmetic that many people view as a necessity. With pure ebonizing earth pigments, length-perfecting peptides, eye-enhancing Frankincense, and naturally volumizing waxes combined with resins and sumptuous oils for sheen and conditioning that keep lashes shining, Raven Maven Mascara was crafted with nature’s numinous sustenance.
This onyx paste is packaged in a glass tube with a slim silicone wand that uniformly spreads and shapes each lash as it grows to long-lasting, lash-fluttering lengths.
We’re waxing lyrical about what draws people to this innovative mascara. The way it hugs the lashes, in addition to having exquisite charcoal, is the essence of making a lash-loving classic. In this case, the wax is essential for the mascara to set and be smudge-free. Amazing waxes were blended, melted, poured, and worshiped to produce this in order to obtain the optimum ratio that would provide a silky sheath around each lash that would remain in place from dusk till dawn. We discovered when formulating that by fusing the different melting points of a gifted trio of waxes, we could produce a holy trinity of legendary lash effects: With the high melting point of hard wax from Carnauba, the more pliable medium melting point of curling-lifting beeswax, and the low melting point of creamy, thicker textured wax from Bayberry Fruit for natural volume. Cacao butter adds conditioning and eliminates clumping to this trio. Frankincense, coniferous resins, and a supply of Kaolin clay keep the lashes glossy. The obsidian-hued iron oxides of this Renegade Beauty cosmetic staple are combined with a dosage of peptides to further enhance future lash life.
Modern mascaras typically contain parabens as preservatives, ammonium methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene derived from petroleum for stability and emulsion, film-forming polymers and shellac made from the bleached exudate of the lac insect for texture and set, plastic and nylon to make a lengthening gel, coal tar for color, and film-forming polymers and shellac for texture and set. Nevertheless, it is astounding that petroleum-based products and plastics are utilized in their place when the cosmos offers such beautiful and useful substances to lengthen, strengthen, and darken our lashes.
How to use
Apply to the eyelashes using broad strokes. At a time, concentrate on one lash line. Before it sets, go over the lashes again, slowly brushing from root to tip. Before it dries, a single dip can be applied to the lashes several times to add depth and density. Additionally, the upper lashes’ backs might be coated. Water will remove it, but a little oil will speed up cleansing and further condition lashes. Use a damp cotton pad and one of our Best Skin Ever products—Goodnight Oil, Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever Cleansing Balm, Chocolate Mocha Lip Balm (yes! ), or your favorite—to sweep it away.
TIP
Avoid pumping the wand and keep the lid on tight to keep air out and moisture in.
Ingredients
Water – Filtered, deionized water is the non-allergenic fluid foundation that keeps all of the ingredients properly swished and swirled together.
Iron Oxide Black – This naturally occurring mineral provides the non-irritating, perfectly-pitched, pure pigment to our mascara for the most naturally tinted lashes.Typically, carbon black is used to pigment cosmetics, and it is produced in the combustion of carbon products like tar. It is reportedly linked to incidence of organ and endocrine disruption.
Beeswax – This wonderful wax is such a special gift from the hives of healthy bees, giving vital viscosity to our lusciously thick mascara, so it coats, lifts, and protects lashes.Beeswax replaces paraffin, polyethylene, vegan soy wax, or a synthetic wax.
Carnauba Wax (Copernicia cerifera) –This breezy Brazilian palm tree lends its leaf wax to our formula for lavish lash-lengthening body with a nice, soft gloss. It also adds emollience for smooth, moisturized eye lashes.Carnauba wax replaces polymers, paraffin, polyethylene, and synthetic waxes.
Bayberry Fruit Wax (Myrica cerifera) -This silky wax is water extracted from organically grown berries of the Southern Bayberry Myrtle. It contributes to the creamy, rich texture of the mascara and gives the lashes a lustrous coat of a porous, protective plant layer.Film-forming polymers, such as acrylates copolymer, ammonium methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene, derived from petroleum, are commonly used in lieu of Bayberry Fruit Wax.
Methyl Hydrogenated Rosinate -Conifer sap resin is steam purified and combined with hydrogen to create a shelf-stable liquid that helps the mascara stay coated on your lashes while adding a dash of gloss. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is typically used in this role as a fixative in mascara. It is a synthetic ingredient derived from petroleum.
Frankincense Resin (Boswellia carterii) -Inspired by Frankincense used as the ingredient of an early cosmetic — ancient Egyptian Kohl — this fragrant and flawless extract furnishes soothing, smoothing properties to our formula. This radiant resin is key to our formula’s tenacity and texture.In synthetic mascaras one will often find shellac on the ingredient list instead. Shellac is made from the exudate of the lac insect. The exudate is then bleached or decolorized to make it cosmetic grade.
Stearic Acid -This magnificent multi-tasker is a natural, plant-based long chain fatty acid that stabilizes the solution and makes the mascara silky smooth.Triethanolamine (TEA) is frequently used in lieu of stearic acid, for the long chain fatty acid. It is created in a reaction of ammonia with ethylene oxide from the petroleum industry.
Propanediol -Plant-derived propanediol is a trusty texturizer and non-irritating fluid that assists in keeping the ingredients wet and well blended.Typically, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used in this role as a wetting agent, and it can trigger allergies and irritations. A vast number of people (maybe as high as 72%), have developed anti-PEG antibodies that can cause hypersensitivity reactions when exposed.
Glyceryl Stearate -This plant-based emulsifier, conditioner, and body builder is created in a process super similar to DIY soap making. This process produces magnificent molecules that are both water and fat soluble, which helps to keep our mascara ingredients all mixed together.Triethanolamine plays a similar role here in replacing stearic acid, and is also frequently used in lieu of glyceryl stearate.
Arginine – A lash-care essential! Arginine is an essential amino acid for building keratin, a fibrous protein that structures and protects hair. It also moisturizes each lash to keep them long and strong.
Pullulan (Aureobasidium pullulans) –This mighty microorganism produces this edible cellulose that acts and feels similar to gelatin. Pullulan helps our mascara lavish each lash with a sheen that stays all day yet magically washes away with water.Typically, plastic or nylon reinforced cellulose are in mascara used to create the gel-like feel in mascara. Both plastic and nylon are made from petroleum.
Pentylene Glycol -This sustainably produced, plant derived organic alcohol works synergistically with organic Rosemary Leaf Extract to preserve and protect our mascara from mutant microbes. It is also a silky humectant that protects lashes from drying out.Pentylene glycol replaces polyethylene glycol (PEG), which functions in many types of mascara as a humectant and preservative. A vast number of people (maybe as high as 72%) have developed anti-PEG antibodies which can lead to hypersensitivity reactions when exposed.
Kaolin –Silica rich Kaolin clay is an ancient haircare preparation that imparts opulent density to our finished formula. Typically, polymer opacifiers are used instead to thicken and make the formula opaque. Synthetic polymers may be irritating and inflammatory.
Caprylyl Glycol – Soft, flexible lashes are less apt to break, and this moisture magnifier keeps your lashes lush and long. Caprylyl glycol is a non-irritating, non-drying alcohol derived from the caprylic fatty acid found in coconut oil.
Xanthum Gum – Widely used in the organic food industry and a pantry staple for gluten free baking, this gel is a natural exudate of Xanthomonas campestris. It is an excellent thickener! We used Xantham Gum instead of hydroxyethylcellulose, which is a synthetic polymer that is made using 1,4 dioxane, a substance that can contribute to some cancers
Cacao Butter (Theobroma cacao) -Expeller-pressed from raw cacao beans, velvety cacao butter delivers antioxidants and conditioning to keep lashes nourished from follicle to tip. Sorbitan sesquioleate is commonly used in mascara for added moisture, and it is increasingly considered an irritant.
Sodium Phytate – This simple salt of phytic acid derived from plant tissues acts as an all-natural super stabilizer for our ebonizing pigments so that our mascara looks and feels the same, day after day. Sodium phytate replaces sodium EDTA to manage the minerals in the mascara. Sodium EDTA may cause redness and rashes to those with sensitive eyes and skin.
Glycerin -Lash-plumping and moisture-maintaining Glycerin acts as a water-binding humectant in our formula. This pure, non-GMO glycerin is made from palm oil extracted from Elaeis guineensis trees grown sustainably and ethically harvested in the tropics. Glycerin is best avoided for skin care as it can lead in the long term to water loss and imbalanced skin cells, yet a bit of Glycerin when combined with other moisturizers and humectants is benign in mascara. Glycerin is safe for eye lashes because hair is made of non-living cells.
Pea Peptides (Pisum Sativum) –This pea peptide is a plant protein multi-tasker concentrated in lysine. It hydrates, strengthens, and fortifies lusher lash density overtime. The texture of the peptide also pumps up voluminous volume for thick, long lashes. Our peptide is lavishly laced with radish root filtrate that has been fermented with Leuconostoc, the same lactic acid bacteria that is used to make kimchi and sourdough bread. This pale-yellow liquid is a natural bacteria-balancer, and its moisturizing properties make it superbly smoothing and conditioning to the lashes and follicles.
Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) –This steadfast and super potent supercritical extract is a favorite of ours, acting as a replenishing tonic for lashes, roots, and follicles and keeps the mascara fragrant and fresh. Typically, butylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are used as preservatives, and they are known endocrine disruptors. Imidazolidinyl urea may also be found on mascara ingredient lists as an antimicrobial, and it is a formaldehyde releaser.
1,2 – Hexanediol – Though synthetic, it has been heavily tested to be harmless, 1,2-Hexandediol only differs molecularly from Caprylyl Glycol in that it has six carbons in the carbon chain while Caprylyl Glycol has eight. 1,2-Hexandediol is both water and lipid loving, and thus it helps hold the ingredients together and disperse pigments more evenly.
Tropolone -This conditioning agent helps to keep our mascara flake-free, and acts as a clean beauty preservative. When combined with 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol, Tropolone provides essential full-spectrum microbe-management to protect the mascara from contamination after every application. While this compound is synthesized, Tropolone is skin safe and also occurs in plants, especially in the Cypress and Lily families, and essential oils are good sources of Tropolone derivatives.
We aimed to create the most hygienic mascara that is also safe for contact lens wearers, sensitive eyes, and ophthalmologist approved. It was discovered after extensive testing and study that 1,2-Hexanediol and Tropolone, two synthetics permitted for use in green cosmetic products, form a clean and secure mascara that is worth wearing. The reason is that the mascara wand repeatedly brushes non-sterile eyelashes before being reinserted into the container, posing a special microbiological problem and serious safety issues that demand definitive solutions. Additionally, using a brand-new wand for each application would waste too much mascara to be a practical solution.
Despite being synthetic, these two extremely potent chemicals have undergone extensive testing and have been proven to be safe. Tropolone and 1,2-Hexanediol also satisfy the Environmental Working Group’s clean beauty requirements as well as the stricter Credo Beauty and Detox Market green beauty standards.

Questo mascara è unico. Divide perfettamente le ciglia e si toglie con l’acqua. Non macchia, si distribuisce bene sulle ciglia. Anche se ha il prezzo alto ma ne vale la pena… La qualità è veramente ottima…
Patricia Podgorska (verified owner) –
The best clean mascara EVER!!! I cannot believe how long-lasting it is. The texture is smooth and doesn’t dry out when applied, so your eyes look shiny, dark, and beautiful. The brush is perfect, it’s super thin which makes your lashes soooooo long. I recommend 10000 %!
