Overview of Akua Adhesive
Akua Adhesive is designed for lash artists who require a reliable and effective glue for Classic, Volume, and Mega Volume lashes. It offers a unique formulation that addresses common challenges in the industry, particularly for clients with sensitivities.
According to industry expert and chemist Michael Becker, “Akua Glue uses a special type of Cyanoacrylate (the stuff that makes adhesives stick) that’s sensitive-friendly. Most adhesives use Ethyl 2 Cyanoacrylate, but we use a unique mix called Alkoxy cyanoacrylate. This formula makes Akua way more suitable for clients with sensitivities! It’s also packed with PMMA, which boosts the glue’s strength and flexibility, so it holds up better than most adhesives on the market.”
Key Features

Viscosity: The adhesive has a medium viscosity, ensuring it applies smoothly and evenly to the lashes.
Flexibility: It is formulated to be highly flexible, which helps the adhesive move with the natural lash. This flexibility reduces the risk of lash breakage and contributes to the longevity of the extensions.
Retention: The adhesive offers a retention period of 4-6 weeks, making it suitable for clients who desire long-lasting results.
Optimal Conditions: For best performance, Akua adhesive should be used in environments with a temperature range of 69-72 degrees Fahrenheit and a relative humidity of 45%-60%.
Date Tracking: Each bottle includes a “Date Opened” writing area, allowing users to keep track of when the adhesive was first opened for optimal usage.
