Wildflower Cosmetic Grade Lash Adhesive – 0.5–1 Sec
Fast, very thin and made for confident lash artists who need an adhesive that keeps up with their placement speed.

It is best suited to experienced lash artists with quick, confident placement. If you are still building your speed, Wildflower may cure before you have completed your attachment, so one of our slower adhesives may be a better choice.

Is Wildflower the Right Lash Glue for You?
Choosing a lash adhesive should be based on your application speed, rather than simply choosing the fastest glue available.
Wildflower has been created for artists who work quickly. Its 0.5–1 second drying time gives confident technicians a fast attachment without unnecessary waiting.
If you are experiencing lash pop-offs during application, this can sometimes indicate that your adhesive is curing before you have completed your attachment. In this situation, moving to an even faster adhesive is unlikely to help - you may actually need a slower one.
If you need a little more placement time, consider Spring (1 second) or Meadow (1–2 seconds) instead.

Cosmetic-Grade Lash Adhesive, Made in the UK
Wildflower is manufactured in the UK specifically for professional lash-extension use, using cosmetic-grade ingredients and controlled manufacturing processes.
We moved our adhesive range to cosmetic-grade UK manufacturing because we wanted greater ingredient transparency, carefully controlled formulations and products developed specifically with professional lash treatments in mind.
Wildflower uses BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) as its stabiliser.
We believe lash artists should know what they are working with, which is why we clearly provide our adhesive ingredients and are open about the stabilising system used within our formulation.
Ingredients:
Ethyl-2-Cyanoacrylate, Trimethylolpropane Triacrylate, Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Carbon Black
Wildflower is independently safety assessed for its intended professional use.
Wildflower Working Conditions
Your room conditions affect how quickly cyanoacrylate adhesive cures.
Wildflower's recommended working environment is:
Temperature: 20–24°C
Humidity: 40–70% RH (68–75°F)
Sweet spot: Approximately 55% RH
Higher humidity will generally make your adhesive cure faster, while lower humidity will generally slow it down.
Because Wildflower is already a fast adhesive, this is particularly important. If you're working in warmer or more humid conditions, it may feel considerably faster than you're expecting.
If your humidity is lower and your adhesive is curing too slowly, our Low Humidity Retention Booster can be used according to its instructions.
For more help understanding how temperature, humidity and application speed work together, read our Lash Adhesive Retention & Environment Guide.
How to Use Wildflower Lash Adhesive
Shake Wildflower by hand for a full two minutes before your first use of the day to thoroughly mix the formulation.
Between adhesive drops, shake for approximately 30 seconds.
When dispensing your adhesive:
- Remove the cap before shaking
- Shake the bottle side to side rather than vigorously up and down
- Turn the bottle upside down and allow gravity to dispense the drop rather than squeezing the bottle
- Use small, fresh drops throughout your treatment
- Wipe the nozzle after dispensing with a lint-free wipe
- Replace the cap securely between uses
Correct adhesive handling helps maintain consistency and reduces product build-up around the nozzle.
How to Store Wildflower
Store Wildflower in a cool, dark place, inside its airtight storage container with the silica pack provided.
Keep the bottle upright and the cap securely closed.
Avoid unnecessary exposure to heat, humidity and direct sunlight.
Unopened shelf life: 12 months
Opened shelf life: 90+ days when correctly stored and handled
Always refer to the expiry information supplied with your individual product.
Getting the Best Retention From Wildflower
Retention isn't determined by your adhesive alone.
Preparation, attachment, application speed, natural lash condition, room environment, client aftercare and the natural lash cycle can all affect how long extensions remain attached.
Wildflower can provide up to approximately 6–7 weeks' retention under suitable conditions, but this isn't a guarantee for every client.
Our pH Balancer and Super Bonder can also be incorporated into your treatment where appropriate. Additional products should be chosen according to the client's lashes, your working environment and the individual product instructions rather than automatically being used with every set.
First Time Using Ladybug Lashes Adhesive?
If you're switching from another brand, don't assume a 0.5–1 second adhesive will feel identical to the same stated speed from another manufacturer.
Differences in formulation, viscosity, stabilising systems, environment and application technique can all affect how an adhesive feels to work with.
That's why we recommend trying one of our 1g Lash Glue Samples before committing to a full-size bottle if you've never used our adhesives before.
This gives you the opportunity to find the Ladybug adhesive that best matches your actual placement speed and working environment.
Wildflower Lash Adhesive FAQs
Is Wildflower suitable for beginners?
Wildflower is not our first recommendation for beginners.
Its 0.5–1 second drying time is designed for confident technicians with quick placement. If you're newly qualified or still developing your speed, Meadow 1–2 second adhesive will usually give you more working time.
Can Wildflower be used for Classic and Volume lashes?
Yes. Wildflower can be used for professional Classic and Volume lash-extension techniques.
The most important factor is whether its curing speed suits your application speed.
Why does my Wildflower box say 1–2 seconds?
There is a printing error on some Wildflower packaging stating a drying time of 1–2 seconds.
Wildflower's correct drying time is 0.5–1 second.
Does Wildflower have low fumes?
Wildflower is classed within our range as having minimal fumes.
However, minimal fumes does not mean allergy-free, hypoallergenic or suitable for someone with a known cyanoacrylate allergy.
Do I need to patch test Wildflower?
Yes. Ladybug Lashes requires a patch test before using Wildflower on a client.
Patch testing should be carried out 24–48 hours before treatment using the adhesive that will be used for the full application.
For lash extension adhesive, our recommended method is to apply 5–10 lash extensions per eye, rather than applying adhesive directly to the skin.
A negative patch test cannot guarantee that a reaction will not occur during or after a full treatment, but the required patch test should still be completed.
Always also follow any additional requirements set by your insurer.
Can I use Wildflower on myself?
No. Wildflower is a professional-use lash-extension adhesive and is not suitable for self-application, DIY lashes or strip lashes.
Can I get the SDS?
Yes. For the SDS relating to the adhesive in your order, email info@ladybuglashes.co.uk with your order number and we can provide the relevant document.
