Early – Step 1 – Softening Lotion (New Pump Packaging)

Product Overview Elevate your lash lift game with the newly redesigned Step 1 Softening Lotion from Early. This professional-grade perm solution is the critical first step in achieving a flawless, long-lasting Korean-style lash lift. Now available in a convenient pump bottle, it offers unmatched precision, hygiene, and ease of use for lash artists.

Key Features of the New Packaging

• Precision Airless Pump: The new pump mechanism allows for exact dosing, ensuring you use only what you need and reducing product waste.
• Enhanced Hygiene: The airless system prevents air and contaminants from entering the bottle, maintaining the stability and potency of the active ingredients until the very last drop.
• Ergonomic Design: Designed for professional speed and comfort, the pump provides a smooth, non-drip application that keeps your workspace clean.

Formula Benefits (Step 1)

• Gentle & Safe (pH 7.5): Formulated with a neutral pH of 7.5—similar to the pH of human tears—this solution ensures a safe, non-irritating experience for clients with sensitive eyes.
• Bond Softening: Enriched with Thioglycolate (TGA) and Cysteamine, it efficiently softens lash bonds to prepare them for perfect reshaping and lifting.
• Deep Nourishment: Unlike harsh traditional perms, Step 1 is infused with Keratin, Collagen, and 11 Natural Botanical Extracts. It treats the lashes during the softening process, preventing damage and keeping them healthy and shiny.
• Optimal Texture: The cream-based formula is firm and elastic, ensuring it stays exactly where you apply it on the silicone shields without running.
